Transition Chesterfield

The Open Days aren't just about being nosy, or about a few people showing off. We hope that you'll feel inspired and better informed to start eco-renovating your own home. These links might help you take the next steps...

 

We've produced a case study for each of the five eco-renovated properties in Chesterfield that are taking part in the open days. These include some notes about who the householders went to for advice and information, and where they sourced products and services. Click here to go to a list of the properties.

 

The Energy Saving Trust helped to fund this event. They say "Energy costs money. We'll help you save both. For free, impartial advice on saving energy in the home call the Energy Saving Trust advice centre free on 0800 512 012". You can also visit their website here.

 

 

Ecovation is a network of eco-renovators, and the inspiration for our open days. They have lots more case studies of ordinary houses that have been eco-renovated, most of them quite detailed, and with links to suppliers and installers. Have a look at their website here.

 

We have a number of 'current cost' monitors that can give you a live reading of your whole house electricity usage. A great way to find out how much power different appliances are using and to encourage your errant family members to turn off lights, tvs, phone chargers, etc. Free to borrow.
