HEREFORDSHIRE GREEN DOORS

With just one weekend of this year’s Herefordshire Green Doors left, it’s your last chance to get inspiration and information from those that have already made their homes more comfortable, sustainable and cheaper to run. We’ve got not just one, but three passive house standard properties in Ledbury, Malvern and near Kington to share with you, a DIY retrofit of a 19th century stone cottage in Peterchurch and a 19th century stone cottage with green tech additions in Woonton.

One year on — living with an air source heat pump
31st October 1.00pm | webinar
Heat pumps and solar PV continue to attract attention but lots of people want to know just how well they perform. Join our lunchtime talk as Dave Green explains what its actually like to live with an air source heat pump in a 1930’s semi in Shrewsbury. Home energy professional Dave had an air source heat pump installed in his 1930’s semi in May 2021 as part of a staged home retrofit project. He’s been monitoring his home’s energy performance since its installation and shares his findings. To find out more and book, Click here.
