Energy Saving Homes provides an opportunity to visit homes in your neighbourhood showing how ordinary people have cut energy costs through a range of retrofit measures. The event takes place annually in association with Oxford Open Doors, taking place on 12 and 13 September this year.

Now in its fifth year, the programme looks again to showcase energy saving measures in homes across Oxford – including insulation, window upgrading and heat pump heating and cooling, as well as solar PV and batteries. In 2025, one visitor commented she “learnt more about solar PV in two hours than in years”.

Details of homes will be available in the coming weeks on the Energy Saving Homes website.
