Fantastic Home saves £70,000 on it's first visit!

The Fantastic Home, a new mobile display which showcases energy efficient living in the home, visited the Festival of World Cultures in Chesterfield Marketplace on Saturday 14th August.

Staff on the display gave away items worth more than £3,000 to passerbys. When used in homes these items will collectively save people almost £70,000 on their energy bills over their lifetime.

Items given out which help to save energy and water in the home included tv powerdowns and showersaves provided by Eon and savaflush bags for toilets and showetimes from Severn Trent Water. Meanwhile, staff from Chesterfield Borough Council gaveaway energy saving lightbulbs and computer powerdowns.

The event was organised by Derbyshire Constabulary and even the police got a chance to make use of the display's energy bike to try to power a lightbulb!
