Climate Change Partnership - Adaptation - Eco homes


	Eco Homes

	North Warwickshire Borough Council (NWBC) is currently exploring and developing its ambition of having an eco house. This eco house would use several examples of energy and resource efficiency devices as well as renewable technologies. NWBC is considering one of two options - Renovation or New Build. We will add further updates as the project progresses.
