Open the door to sustainable living by touring some of Australia's most environmentally progressive homes.
This Sunday is Sustainable House Day, a free initiative where over 100 of Australia’s best environmentally sustainable homes will be open for public viewing.
The day is designed to allow people to inspect new homes and renovations as well as interact with homeowners, architects and designers to learn more about sustainable design, garden design, renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Sustainable House Day is jointly run by the not-for-profit Alternative Technology Association and EnviroShop. ATA chief executive Donna Luckman says visitors will be able to view a range of innovations from aquaponics and backyard food farms to thermal mass walls, off-grid energy and environmentally-friendly renovations.
It is open to anyone but prior registration is required to get the addresses of homes. More information on the homes can be found at sustainablehouseday.com.
