Rounding off our 2023 Green Open Homes visiting season is a final tour - online!
Book now to view the transformation of an Edwardian home in Muswell Hill, and hear from the owner James Tanner and contractor Dominic Snow. Ask them your questions and be inspired to look at the greening potential of your own home.
The house in Dukes Avenue has been completely retrofitted for energy efficiency while retaining its character with all original features. Works include internal and underfloor insulation, draughtproofing and solar PV panels.
About the speakers:
James is a professional landlord, developer of energy efficient homes and domestic energy assessor. He and his wife Tatiana ran sustainability workshops for local primary school children on a voluntary basis for ten years.
Dominic specifies insulation and renewable energy systems for domestic and public buildings. Since 2014 he has lectured on internal and external wall insulation and other sustainable construction and retrofit technologies.
This will be an online only event, with the virtual tour followed by a Q & A session. We'll send the Zoom link to ticket holders before the event.
