We  hope Autumn 2022 home tours will a mixture of online and in-person.

We can support you presenting your home, at a time of your choice in Sept/Oct 2022. Tell your eco-home story and the methods you used - including triumphs and disasters - all useful for others to learn from!

Do you have some good photos? Can you take some video of your home and its features with your phone? We’ll help you with the technology of making a live online presentation, with practice, if you want.

With some facts about your home, we'll create a case study, which becomes great resource for visitors.
