Britain's Empty Homes
On: BBC 1
Time: 11:00 to 11:30
Gas technician David Hall and his wife Heather, an architectural student, plan to downsize to a smaller house not too far from their present home in Ingatestone, Essex. David and Heather are keen to be green, and what better way to start than by recycling an empty house. They're hoping this will allow their 400,000 pound budget to stretch so they can afford to install as many eco features as they can. But it's not going to be easy being green as they've never done an eco renovation before. Jules Hudson is on hand to help them explore some of the options, introducing them to some green renovators who've taken advantage of empty homes to create their eco dreams.
