Eco-renovators

If the Government's expressed target of cutting national greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2050 is to be achieved, the eco-renovation of owner-occupied housing will be a vital focus for strategic thinking and concerted action.
  

Ecovation is a project run by COIN in partnership with Climate-X which aims to support home-owners to eco-renovate their homes.  The programme runs a range of activities from the ecovation website which provides comprehensive information and advice to  open day events in which home-owners open their homes to the public.


The Ecovation Website

COIN's Ecovation website is dedicated to providing comprehensive information and advice to owner-occupiers wishing to renovate their homes to the highest possible energy standards. The website and learning network is intended to create a web-based community to enable experienced or newly-persuaded eco-renovators, or 'ecovators', to share information and discuss issues and projects. Website content is divided into topics such as insulation, ventilation, solar and wind technologies, summer cooling, materials, lighting and water and sewerage. The website includes case studies, open days and publications.

If you would like more information on the project or would like to submit material to the site, contact ecovation@coinet.org.uk.
