Really encouraging and inspiring article about how to begin to reduce energy consumption and how they people behind it have modded their own house to do it. Secret seems to bew a large three-storey conservatory and cunning ventilation plus solar pannelling.
Dunster argues that his ideas are for everyone. As an architect who has championed sustainable living since his student days, he says we can massively reduce our impact on the planet through a combination of energy conservation and domestic power production. The problem, he claims, is information - people realising what their options are. There are mini wind turbines you can bolt on to your roof like a satellite dish, for example, yet you won't find these at the DIY store. And any electrician should be able to wire up a solar panel. Another issue is cost: whether it's organic veg or solar panels, it has never been cheap to be green.
