Tours and presentations of sustainable homes in the Dandenong Ranges.
Tour two homes built to sustainable design, and engage with experts to learn:
How to retrofit Hills homes for energy efficiency
How natural materials including hemp and bamboo can be integrated
Hoe to electrify your home and reduce power bills
The two homes that will be opened feature different styles of architecture, and budgets to match. Meet the home owners and hear first-hand how to build or renovate a sustainable home in the Hills.
The unique Hills environment requires bush-fire rated homes, and brings challenges such as steep, shaded blocks and erosion overlays.
On hand will be local architects, designers, suppliers and home sustainability assessors to help participants understand building sustainability principles and strategies.
