Interested in making your home one of the most environmentally friendly in your area? This is your chance to talk to someone who has already done it! The pioneering owners of some of the UK's most energy efficient SuperHomes will be hosting free open days during SuperHomes Week between Saturday 17th March and Sunday 25th March 2012.

SuperHomes are older homes that have been refurbished to the highest standards of energy efficiency – resulting in greater comfort, significantly lower running costs and a reduction in carbon emissions of at least 60%.

SuperHomes showcase a range of home improvements likely to become popular following the launch of the Green Deal in October 2012. The majority of SuperHomes are super-insulated so visitors with draughty old solid wall properties will discover some clever ways to make their home more comfortable in winter. In many cases renewable energy heats water, provides electricity or contributes to space heating. You will also find the latest in low energy lighting on display.

Attending an open day provides the opportunity to speak to a homeowner who has already done the thinking and undertaken and lived with some major improvements. Who could be better qualified to help you make the right choices?

SuperHomes Week coincides with similar open day events in both Bath and Bristol - Bath Homes Fit for the Future and .
