The EcoHouse is open on every Saturday of every month from 10am til 1pm

Self-Guided Tours available, with CERES staff on hand to answer questions.

The CERES EcoHouse has recently undergone a major renovation and refurbishment, courtesy of an Eco-Living Grant from the Victorian Government's Sustainability Fund. This is the first upgrade of the House in ten years, and means it is now once again a leading venue for sustainability education and a showcase of stylish, sustainable design. The EcoHouse demonstrates how it is possible to retrofit an older home to be sustainable, affordable and appealing.

 

 

The house has working examples of a:

  • Grid interactive PV power system
  • Passive solar extension and additions
  • Displays of insulation
  • Energy efficient appliances
  • Low embodied energy construction
  • Natural floor coverings and finishes
  • Urban rainwater harvesting
  • Wattworks greywater system
  • Solar hotwater & hydronic heating system
  • Permaculture garden with low water tolerant plants
  • And much more
