Sarah Harrison, ‘Superhome’ owner, London

The Sustainable Energy Academy has set up a network of refurbished hard-to-treat houses to convince policy makers and others that high energy savings are possible even in older properties. Each ‘Superhome’ owner has made carbon savings of around 70 percent and they act as exemplars by opening their home to visitors. The 36,000 visits so far have inspired others to take similar action by showing them it’s possible to achieve lower energy bills and a better living environment by taking simple energy efficiency measures and other green improvements.
