A home showcasing various energy saving measures, such as those recommended by E.ON has been opened to the public.
Greenwich Council refurbished a 1920s two-bedroom flat in Plumstead, which has now been opened to the public to demonstrate a range of ways that energy and environmental footprint can be brought down.
The home features a solar panel on its roof to generate electricity and radiator insulation panels that reflect heat away from walls and into rooms.
According to the council's website, 33 per cent of a home's heat is lost through the walls unless it has cavity wall insulation installed.
Tenants' representatives, who got a sneak peek of the house in June, were particularly impressed by removable 20-litre bins for composting, dry recycling and black bin waste that were built right into the kitchen and accessible by flaps in the work surface.
The house is now open to visitors who have to make an appointment, or who can go along to open days on October 9, October 12, October 16, October 23 and October 30.
