This morning we were interviewed by BBC London about the refurb we’re doing. We got a free home energy audit a month or so ago from Green Homes in return for letting them do some promotional filming with us (read - many many hours of filming us talking about the same things over and over again). Green Homes is now launching a full London-wide service with the LDA - with a big event in Trafalgar Sq - so the BBC came round to have a chat with us about how we’re trying to minimise the impact of our refurbishment and make the flat as energy efficient as possible.
Green Homes is providing a ‘concierge’ type service to Londoners - so you get a home energy audit and then a year’s worth of support on trying to implement the measures they recommend. So, they advise on the obvious stuff - boilers, insulation and lighting - but also things like where to find environmentally friendly carpet underlay. Basically, they’re helping us research lots of bits and pieces to make our flat as nice as possible whilst being as low impact as possible. Useful for busy people trying to do a refurb or for people that just don’t know where to start with choosing an new boiler.
As soon as the (no doubt, awful) clips from the BBC appear on the net, I’ll put a link here.
