How the network can help your decision-making 

The Green Homes Network features more than 400 homeowners across Scotland who have installed a wide range of renewable technologies and other energy efficiency improvements. The network showcases properties of all kinds, from eco-builds to historic stone cottages, listed buildings and everything in between. Whatever home energy improvement you’re considering, network members are here to help. 

The Green Homes Network is free to use and has case studies packed with useful information. Members have shared their whole journey, from initial research to installing and living with the improvements. This makes the case studies the best place to learn about overcoming barriers, understanding the costs, working with installers and getting the most out of your energy efficiency improvements.  
 
If you’ve already installed home renewables or energy efficiency improvements in your home, why not consider becoming a member of the Green Homes Network? By joining, you can take the experience you have gained from your renewables journey and use it to help and inspire others. 

Searching the Green Homes Network 

To get started, you just need to enter your postcode and set a search radius for the projects you want to view. Most members are happy to host visits to their property, as well as answering questions via phone and email, so this is useful if you want to visit projects in your area. 

You can then select further filters based on the energy saving measures installed, property type, property age, and renewable technologies installed. 

After you’ve set your filters, click or tap search and you’ll be shown a list of relevant homeowners. You can then read through their case studies and view the photos that bring their stories to life.  

Contact a network member

From there you can learn even more by reaching out to a member. This is a great way to get the most up-to-date information on how the improvements have impacted their energy bills and any other ongoing benefits from their project. 

You can request to contact members by phone, email or arrange a visit by using the ‘Contact this member’ button on their case study.
