TIPS on a reducing energy bills and creating a more ecologically sound home will feature prominently at an upcoming Sustainable House Day events in October.<\/p>\n

Geelong Sustainability, in partnership with the Geelong council, is hosting the two-day event that offers inspirational ideas and advice from homeowners and industry experts through a series of seminars and open houses.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 15 Gordon Tafe, Geelong, will host ticketed lectures on buying, building and renovating sustainably; retrofitting tips and tricks for energy efficiency; and becoming an all-electric home by getting off gas.<\/p>\n

People will have chance on Sunday for a sneak peak behind the doors of some the region’s most sustainably innovative homes in Geelong, the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Bannockburn.<\/p>\n

Nine homes have been selected for their design techniques, with features like thermal mass, insulation, new building practices, rooftop solar and battery storage, sustainable products and draught-proofing techniques on display.<\/p>\n

A 1960’s Highton house offers an example of how an old home can be retrofitted to an all-electric home and garden and new St Leondards home with an 8.8 Star passive solar design shows how efficient modern homes can be.<\/p>\n

A tiny house and permaculture garden in Jan Juc has also been selected, in keeping with this another of this year’s themes which is living with less.<\/p>\n

“We really wanted to highlight living smaller and how you can utilise space to create a beautiful sustainable smaller home, providing an alternative option to ‘bigger is better'”, Geelong Sustainability Executive Officer Dan Cowdell said.<\/p>\n

As many household’s experience bill shock due to spiking gas prices, Mr Cowdell said methods of transitioning to an all-electric home are in the minds of many.<\/p>\n

“The information, tools and tips we are sharing will support homeowners to feel confident to transition their homes off gas.<\/p>\n

“This is important for the wider transition away from gas to reduce our emissions and move towards a zero emissions future.”<\/p>\n
