Online Eco Open Houses: Watch all three events

A big thank-you to everyone who joined our three Online Eco Open House events in February, looking at ways Lewes people are making their homes greener and more energy efficient. Recordings of all three sessions are now available, plus downloads of useful information.

The sessions attracted over 200 attendees over the three evenings. We’re extremely grateful to all the local residents who explained what they’ve been doing in terms of heating, insulation, draughtproofing and powering their homes – and well as the experts who were able to provide fantastic technical knowledge on the practicalities of installation and deciding which options to go for.

Terraced house retrofit presentation

One of our presenters, Nicola who is a local architect, had a particularly detailed and inspiring presentation on how she has insulated and improved her terraced house in Lewes. Not only did she show how she went about insulating an older house but also the materials she has used. This can be seen here
