On Sunday 13 September homes across Townsville will be opening
their doors for this year’s Sustainable House Day.
Presented nationally by Solar Shop Australia and coordinated
locally in north Queensland by NQ Dry Tropics and ecoSAVVY, this is
your personal invitation to see what sustainable homeowners have
done and how these ideas can apply to you here in the tropics!
If you’re thinking about improving your home’s
energy, water or waste management efficiency in your house or
garden, speaking to homeowners about their own experiences is a
must. Seeing real sustainable projects in action, and learning what
worked well and not so well, will help save you time and money.
There will be plenty of information available on the day, with
homeowners, architects, builders, energy auditors and natural
resource management staff on hand at many of the homes to provide
you with expert tips on tropical design and sustainable living.
From retrofits to new builds, there are sure to be many
inspirational ideas to adapt to your home.
Entry to the houses is free.
Homes will be open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
