Open Eco Homes Devon
Explore some of Devon’s most inspiring sustainable homes
A weekend of open doors across Devon
See real homes, meet the people who live in them, and discover practical ideas for creating a home that’s warmer, healthier, better for nature and cheaper to run.
Householders across Devon are opening their doors to share practical ideas, honest experiences and the lessons they’ve learned from improving their homes.
Whether you’re interested in retrofit, insulation, solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, Passivhaus, natural building materials, wildlife-friendly gardens or simply making your home cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in, Open Eco Homes Devon gives you the chance to explore real homes, ask questions and learn from the people who have already done it.

What visitors have said
The chance to hear real world experiences from real world people on how their adoption of green technologies has gone. The benefits were huge.
Many thanks indeed for a brilliant programme, which has been very useful to us in refining some of our plans. It’s a great community service.
There is something so heartwarming about this weekend for me. Everyone cares about the planet and is wanting to do something to help.
We put so much time and energy into making our house as sustainable as possible that it was very heartening to share this with others and feel like the impact of that effort has multiplied.
A wonderful and inspiring experience.
