Default Devon Adopts Eco Homes


Whether you believe that global warming is down to gas-guzzling people, a slightly warmer sun or overly flatulent cows there is one thing we can probably all agree on – cheap electricity is good electricity. This is where energy efficiency can come in, whether or not it can save the world it can certainly save you money.

Homes in South Molton in Devon, England have received national recognition as a model for sustainable housing development, something that future projects should learn from. But the builders didn’t just stop at one experimental home, two was just too few, even three wasn’t nearly enough so they settled on a small neighbourhood of thirty five houses. They were built with the aim of being a template for all future development and they’re not just for show, a one bedroom flat is yours to rent for £51.40 (about $103) a week whilst a four bedroom house is a snap at £78.34 (about $157) a week.
