The Sustainable Energy Academy was formed with the aim of promoting education and action to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and communities.
They have come up with a network of older, hard to treat homes which have had a full retrofit of energy efficiency and low carbon measures, called Old Home SuperHome. Their bold and laudable aim is “to create a network of homes that are local and publicly accessible, within 15 minutes, to nearly everyone in the country”.
This is a very good idea – we need everyone to be able to see and experience the technologies and solutions that are going to enable an 80% or more cut in CO2 emissions, and to see that people all around them are taking those steps right now.
To help this along, the Sustainable Energy Academy have organised a day of openings coming on the 28th March, when homes around the country will be open for you to visit for free. There are still places free at three homes in London and one in each of Peterchurch, Bristol and Birmingham.

We are currently spearheading Old Home SuperHome – a network of exemplar, old dwellings which have undergone an energy-efficiency retrofit. We aim to create a network of homes that are local and publicly accessible, within 15 minutes, to nearly everyone in the country.
