Be a Featured Home for Sustainable House Day 2025

Sustainable House Day 2025 is calling for inspiring, energy-efficient homes to join our lineup of Featured Homes. Each and every conversation empowers others to start their journey towards either a new green home, or towards retrofitting their current home to be a more comfortable, energy efficient home with lower running costs.

Whatever your story, we’d love you to share it with others – it’s a powerful form of peer to peer sharing that builds skills in a trusting environment.

Applications are now open and close on Sunday, 23 February 2025.

Why Become a Featured Home?

By participating, you:

  • Inspire Change: Demonstrate practical, sustainable solutions that others can adopt.
  • Join a National Movement: Be part of an event that attracts thousands of visitors annually, both in-person and online.
  • Connect with Your Community: Share your journey with like-minded individuals passionate about sustainable living.
  • Flexibility: Choose to host in-person tours on Sunday, 4 May 2025, or opt for an online house profile only, complete with photos and a house tour video.
