If you've dreamt of living in a more sustainable home but don't know where to start, this could be just what you need. After all, who better to ask than the people living the dream?

started in 2001 and is the only national event of its kind, offering a unique education opportunity for the general public.

Some of the benefits of sustainable homes include healthier indoor air and wellbeing for occupants, reduced energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, reduced water consumption and maintaining urban biodiversity…there are plenty more! Nine out of 10 visitors to listed homes are influenced by what they have seen.

You can search online through the 2015 list of homes to discover the properties you wish to visit this September. Once you register your interest online you can also start mapping out your event day schedule by nominating the homes you wish to attend.



There are also additional events such as the Solar Dwellings bus tour which includes 4-5 sustainable homes and lunch at Hilton Harvest Community Garden with Josh Byrne who has documented his experience building a 10-star rated home.

You can also volunteer at one of the local homes or at the event, roles vary but may involve assisting with set up/ pack down, directing visitors through homes or participating in the lead up to the event.

Maybe you're lucky enough to already live in a sustainable home like me? I'm sure home owners get just as much out of sharing their experience with others! If your home has a minimum of three sustainable features you can also head to the website and register to be an open house. See you there!
