A new event to help homeowners in Bucks reduce their energy bills and save the planet is coming to Bucks.
The Buckinghamshire Energy Efficient Homes Fair will be at The Wades Centre in Princes Risborough, on Saturday
24th September from 10am - 6pm.
Buckinghamshire Community Energy and Bucks Climate Action Alliance officially launched ticket sales this week for
the inaugural Energy Efficient Homes Fair, which hopes to be 'a one-stop-shop event to move the needle on climate change
and put money back in the pockets of homeowners reeling from energy price rises.'
The event comes as latest statistics show that just 1.8% of homes achieve the highest energy efficiency ratings
(Greenpeace UK), meaning that 98.2% of homeowners are contributing disproportionately to climate change, and
seeing a negative impact on their personal finances.
The event is being sponsored by Buckinghamshire Council, SprayCork manufacturer CorkSol UK and construction
project consultants CL-PM.
The event is also open to local people who generally want to get involved in the community’s efforts to make Bucks a sustainable place to live and work.
Early Bird tickets for the Energy Efficient Homes Fair are now on sale and cost from £6.50 (before 1 August).
