Visit inspiring eco homes, where householders show and explain how they save energy and cut bills. Find out what would work for you (or not!) eg: comfortable insulation, hi-tech & renewable energy, DIY, low-cost improvements, taking control of your heating. 15 varied Cambridge-area homes, new-build and retro-fit, will be open on the 18th and 24th of September. This year on October 8th we are also hosting Cosy Cambridge, with workshops, stalls and a human library. A sample of 7 homes appears below. Full details of all 15 homes on show and booking facilities from www.openecohomes.org
