- Inside Kate Hawksworth’s Eco Home
Sometimes being interested in eco-renovation or building a new eco-home isn’t enough to make a start. Often the problems aren’t just technical, first you need to figure out what you really want.
At Eco-homes: personal stores three homeowners shared and discussed their stories of how and why they now live in beautiful, energy-efficient homes: Topics discussed included
– what motivated them to renovate their homes
– what the process was like and what they might do differently
– what the benefits were
There was a great atmosphere, with those attending having lots of opportunity to have their own questions answered by our speakers:
