The Councils of Milton Keynes, Camden and Aylesbury Vale are each working with the Sustainable Energy Academy to encourage local Green Open Homes initiatives to take root. Initially we are seeking at least 6 enthusiastic households in each area to create a core group of house openers.
Participants will benefit from mentoring and special support in the run up to opening in conjunction with SuperHomes Open Days.
Your house and event information will appear on the national SuperHomes website – but your house doesn’t need to be SuperHomes standard for you to participate.
Support offered will include:

We hope to confirm who will join us in opening to the public in March by mid February.
To express your interest, simply complete the survey at the link at the top of the page. It’s a 3 minute job. Or for more information, please contact Camille Ruddle on 01908 256 918; or Gordon Glass on 01908 256 922.
This initiative is supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s Green Deal Pioneer Places funding. In Milton Keynes the new Building Retrofit Network is also a partner in the initiative. SuperHomes is a national network of older homes which have been refurbished to a high standard of energy efficiency.
Green Deal Pioneer Places funding is also supporting FREE Green Deal Assessments that can tell you what could be done to improve the energy efficiency of your home. To apply, see the details here for Milton Keynes and Camden residents.
