Green homes open door to renewables
The homes across the city have installed various green technologies, from solar panels or solar water heating to wood-fuel boilers or heat recovery systems.
And as part of the Green Homes Network Open Day on September 29, they have agreed to show visitors how it has saved them cash and cut their carbon footprint.

“With wind, sunshine and rain, sometimes all within the space of 24 hours, our weather can be unpredictable – but it can also be a great source of energy for your home.”
