ecoSAVVY....proudly coordinating Sustainable House Day since 2005
ecoSAVVY has proudly coordinated Sustainable House Day in the Townsville region since 2005.
Sustainable House Day provides an opportunity for the general public to visit exemplary private homes that are designed well for our tropical climate.
The featured homes showcase tropical design, solar panels (generating electricity from the sun), solar hot water heating, energy and water efficiency, and a wide variety of sustainable design and sustainable living principles.
Sustainable House Day 2010
Nationally over 170 houses all around Australia will open their doors to the public to promote sustainable homes and sustainable living.
Sustainable House Day is held the 2nd weekend in September annually.
Sustainable House Day 2010 will be held on Sunday 12th September.
Homes are open between 10am and 4pm. Entry to the homes is free.
Take advantage of this once a year opportunity to see what sustainable home owners in Townsville have done and to see how these ideas may apply to you and your home.
Sustainable House Day is coordinated nationally by Shmeco (www.shmeco.com) and locally by NQ Dry Tropics (www.nqdrytropics.com.au) and ecoSAVVY.
