Bristol Green Doors
Visit www.bristolgreendoors.org or click here. Bristol Green Doors is a weekend event of open homes showcasing how a range of no-cost to high-cost measures can reduce domestic energy consumption and promote low-carbon living.
Over 11th and 12th September a broad range of homes will be showcased in different neighbourhoods across the whole city and Bristol Green Doors welcomes applications of interest from prospective householders wishing to showcase what they have done to improve energy efficiency and reduce fossil fuel dependence.
Visitors will be able to see and discuss the retrofits, renewable installations and other approaches with the householders and learn from their experiences.
