Epsom and Ewell Energy Group

Action Surrey, the group working across the whole of  Surrey on energy issues, are running a weekend, on 24th and 25th March, where people across the county, who have installed energy efficient or energy generating measures into their homes, invite visitors in on one day, to find out more about the details, benefits, problems, costs etc.   They did the same in 2011, with 30 properties open, and several hundred  visits.  We even had 3 homes available in Epsom.

Action Surrey is asking local eco home owners, who have implemented some energy saving measures, to open their home to the public as part of Surrey Green Homes 2012 on Saturday 24^th and Sunday 25^th March.

Homeowners are encouraged to share their knowledge and experience about making their own homes more energy efficient and ecologically sustainable and report on how these changes have affected their fuel bills, and the comfort of their homes.

This County-wide event will build on the success of last year when 30 homeowners opened their properties to over 300 visitors, illustrating what they could do to their own home to reduce fuel bills and generate their own renewable energy.

Homeowners would have to commit to:

• Opening their house for one day during the weekend
• Provide a brief summary of the energy saving features of their home (and the suppliers/installers of any technology)
• Guide people round the home or enable people to look around
• Answer any questions the visitors might have.

Support will be provided by Action Surrey.  Homeowners who are interested should contact Action Surrey on info@actionsurrey.org

Many thanks
