Green Open Homes B&NES: Inspiring Sustainability, One House at a Time

The Green Open Homes event in Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) was a fantastic opportunity to witness the real-world impact of energy efficiency measures and renewable technologies. This year, on the 4th and 5th of November, 17 homes in Bath and 5 in the Chew Valley opened their doors to showcase their eco-friendly transformations. Lendology was excited to be part of this initiative, and in this blog post, we’ll take you on a virtual tour of some of the inspiring homes that participated in the event. 

Georgian Elegance Meets Sustainability: 

One of the highlights of the Green Open Homes event was the opportunity to explore a range of architectural styles. In a beautifully preserved Georgian home, attendees got a firsthand look at energy-efficient features, such as triple glazing and solar panels. The owners shared their experiences, revealing how these measures have not only reduced their energy bills but also enriched the historical charm of their property. 

Modern Comforts, Minimal Environmental Impact: 

The event was not just about historical homes; modern dwellings also played a vital role in showcasing sustainability. A visit to a contemporary house demonstrated how innovative heating options like heat pumps and advanced insulation can create a comfortable living environment while significantly reducing carbon emissions. These homeowners are not only saving money but also contributing to a greener future. 

Community Collaboration: 

Green Open Homes B&NES is a testament to the power of community collaboration. Bath & West Community Energy (BWCE), in partnership with local organizations, brought this event to life. It’s not just about individual efforts but also about building a sustainable future together. Lendology is proud to support such community initiatives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.
