Scotland’s second Green Home Festival to be launched by Housing Minister Paul McLennan.
The Housing Minister will be the keynote speaker at the first session of the five-day renewables event, which is again being organised by the Construction Industry Collective Voice (CICV) as part of the official Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
McLennan is scheduled to join TV presenter Anna Campbell-Jones on Monday 14th August for the first day of the festival, which will deliver 11 presentations on a range of sustainable topics, including heat pumps, home offices, water waste and energy efficiency.
The minister, who is MSP for East Lothian, said:
I am delighted that the Green Home Festival has returned for a second year and I am honoured to have been asked to get the ball rolling on a week of essential information and practical demonstrations.
There is no doubt that net zero and low-carbon living is increasingly important for us all in the coming months and years, so this event will once again help householders understand how they can play their part and make their homes more sustainable.
One of the organisers, Gordon Nelson, Scotland Director of the Federation of Master Builders, said:
We look forward to welcoming the minister to the heart of Edinburgh as we launch the 2023 Green Home Festival. This year’s event is already causing a buzz and our army of experts can’t wait to help consumers along the road to low-carbon living.
The event will also include a dedicated heat pump day, with two separate shows on how to reduce bills, access grants and install the technology, as well as options for hybrid heating.
