Did you know that on the 12th of September Australians are celebrating Sustainable House Day?.

Sustainable House Day gives people the chance to get a real-life look inside houses that have been designed, built or fitted out with sustainability in mind, you can also talk to the owners of the homes and get tips and ideas on how to convert your home into a sustainable home as well.

A record 270 homes will open their doors to the public this Sunday 12 September for Sustainable House Day in Australia.

Sustainable House Day,  provides a chance for people to exchange ideas and learn from each other and visits to the houses are free of charge – so it will cost nothing to see how easy and economical the move to greener living can be.

Architects and builders will be on hand at many of the homes to provide expert tips while home viewers at this year’s event will be able to see benefits such as solar, ventilation, water harvesting and recycling, shading, thermal mass (materials that absorb and release heat), glazing and window treatments.

For more information visit the Sustainable House Day website and for house location visit the Location Page.
