Green buildings in Suffolk - Open Days

The Suffolk Green Buildings Network is providing Green Buildings Open Days as part of English Heritage's Open Days. The open days offer guided, informative tours of energy-efficient properties and projects between 9 - 12 September 2010.

The Suffolk Green Buildings Network is a collaboration between the Creating the Greenest County Delivery Partnership, UCS and many other partners. We now have a growing number of green buildings that are cheaper to heat, cheaper to light, have less environmental impact and are better adapted to climate change. The purpose of the network is to raise the profile of these fantastic buildings, inspiring others to commission similar projects.

Among the eleven properties featured for 2010 are a contemporary family home designed with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality, a Tudor public building dating from about 1500, new build and retrofit village halls and buildings built from straw bales.
