Tina will open up her own house to visitors. This is a typical 1950’s solid wall house in West Bridgford which has undergone a whole house low energy refurbishment. How did the newly insulated house stand up to its first year, including a cold winter and the hot weather in July? What was the energy use before and after? Come along and find out.

Passive House, nr Southwell
Roger Bell will open up his home near Southwell. This is a new build which was designed to follow Passive House principles while at the same time using many elements of standard UK construction (e.g. cavity walls). The home owners moved in at the start of winter 2012-13 so are able to share their first impressions on how the house is performing thermally – and the build itself is of course still fresh in their minds!
