SUSTAINABILITY, BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Sustainable House Day, Sunday 14 September 2008 (both Sat and Sun in some regions)

As part of the 7th annual Sustainable House Day, homes across the country will open so others can learn and experience the benefits of all aspects of sustainable living. Over the years that Sustainable House Day has been showing people the benefits of energy efficiency in their homes, there has been a dramatic increase in interest. People now realise they need to reduce their energy, water and waste needs in their home, but are confused on where to start. That’s where Sustainable House Day can help. There is nothing better than talking to people who have already done it. People can learn the good, and the bad, from the home owner’s personal experience and talk to architects, builders and designers.
