Zero Carbon House
Heritage Open Day: Completed in 2009, the UK’s first and only retrofit house to “zero carbon†standard (Code for Sustainable Homes level 6). It generates all its own renewable energy with no use of fossil fuels and has won six design awards including Civic Trust Commendation and RIBA Architecture Award. Quirky, delightful...a thoughtful design of exceptional quality - RIBA. I've seen the future - and it's in Birmingham - The Times. Note this is a private family home.
Sat 8 Sep:1100-1600; children's presentation 1400. Free Entry. For more information and last-minute updates, please visit the Heritage Open Days website
