LINCOLN ENVIROTOWN had its tour of homes in this region which enabled interested visitors to learn and experience from the users, the benefits, the advantages, the pitfalls, the costs and the savings achieved, by adding these factors into their home design and their living environment.
We visited a variety of homes showing energy saving aspects such as older homes with retrofitted insulation , solar water heating, or homes designed to be energy efficient and homes generating their own electricity and or other efficient systems such as wind power, passive heat retention, double glazing, internal heating.
Everybody enjoyed visiting homes and finding out how they are reducing energy costs and doing their bit to reduce their carbon footprint.
The selected Energy Efficient home owners, were able to showcase their features and discuss the success or otherwise with those who wanted to gain the knowledge and have the opportunity to listen and talk to these home owners about any relevant information offered and presented in an informal casual setting. Beats getting the sales pitch from the sales person!- and it allowed prospective purchasers of these energy saving features experience firsthand from the satisfied owners. |
