ECOVATION/HERITAGE OPEN DAYS
If you've done any of the following, it would be great to have you on board:
· super insulated your home (interior / exterior)

· installed a wood / pellet / chip burner
· used innovative / ecological / reclaimed products
· built a straw bale extension
· have fantastic rain water harvesting
· have a green roof
We want to invite you to become part of another Open eco- building event organized by Coin and Climate X Change in September this year. It will be part of the Heritage Open Days, which celebrates England's fantastic architecture and culture. We think that in times of Climate Change eco-renovated and eco-built houses ought to play a major role in this event.
Other buildings wanted! If you know of other buildings (offices, village
halls, commercial properties) that have installed any of the above, please
pass this email onto them, or let us know their contact details so that we
can contact them.
To view last year's event, go to http://ecovation.org.uk/htmldesigns/heritageopenday.html
By being part of it we hope to bring across the importance of 'Ecovation'
and give people a first hand experience of what goes into eco-renovating a
house. Feedback from previous years demonstrates how inspiring your homes
have been for another – enabling them to take the next step…
The event will be held from Thu, 10th 'til Sun, 13th of September 2009, Oxfordshire wide. We intend to publicize it widely in the local media and through
community groups. We will provide maps showing all the houses open on the
day. Further information about the Ecovation details or the Heritage Open
Days you will find on
If you would like to be a part of this project we would like you to:
- Open your house (for at least 3 hours) on the days/times of your choice between Thu the 10th - Sun the 13th of September 2008
- Provide a two page guide (including images) to the features of your house (and the suppliers/installers of any technology), which will be used on the Ecovation website as well
- Guide people round the house or enable people to look around at
your chosen time - Answer any questions the visitors might have
We recommend you don't leave the registration until too late.
We will provide full information and support.
Generally don't hesitate to contact us if you would like more information.
