Renew’s Sustainable House Day is back with in-person open homes, and bigger than ever
Sustainable House Day 2024, a community-driven event hosted by Renew, will showcase over 150 homes across Australia that have met the challenges of reducing energy bills, getting off gas, being more climate-resilient, and providing a comfortable home environment.
Since 2001, Sustainable House Day has grown, and is now a month-long national celebration of building and living sustainably. The main event on Sunday 21st April will see homeowners throw open their doors to welcome those who are seeking inspiration and peer-to-peer advice on their sustainability journey. There will also be a series of eight online events that will deliver expert guidance from Australia’s leading sustainable architects, designers, and builders, with topics centred around key areas of sustainable building and design.
Open home tours will take place across the country allowing visitors to see a diverse range of properties, from a strawbale house on the west coast that feels like a warm hug, to a bushfire resilient home with sprawling views of the Tasman Peninsula. Renew has also partnered with community organisations around the country to include a host of other activities and provide opportunities for grassroots knowledge sharing. This year these include live demonstrations of all electric homes, guided ecovillage tours, meet and greets with energy efficient homeowners, factory walk-throughs, information evenings, webinars, and even a sustainability fair!
