Making our homes fit the future – without tears
In the 21st century we rate health and comfort in our homes higher than before AND we need energy efficiency in order to minimize carbon
Open Eco Homes is a free home energy advice and information hub which has inspired thousands of Cambridgeshire residents to improve their home energy efficiency over the last 14 years.
We aim to showcase innovate and energy efficient homes through which people can gain insight of real-life examples, impartial information and knowledge from experienced homeowners. With detailed case studies for each home, and with over 70 new build and retrofitted eco-homes on record it is possible to find examples of many building types and energy efficient solutions.
In addition to the eco-home tours and information we host a number of expert led talks online to help to save money to improve your home energy and reduce your carbon footprint.
Find out more about what you can do to reduce the carbon footprint of your home by browsing our information pages.
Every Autumn Open Eco Homes runs tours and talks to give you ideas and information to get started with your own eco home. Our tours are run by homeowners who show and discuss how their homes are low carbon. Some are new-build and some retrofits. Get ideas for what suits your home. Our talks are run by experts on practical topics to help you go further.
