Green Buildings in Norfolk 

As part of a campaign to promote practical solutions to climate change, CPRE Norfolk has been researching examples of local buildings that use renewable energy and low-impact construction techniques.  A great variety of buildings have been discovered - from barns to water mills, cottages to smallholdings, studios to sheds, environment centres to ordinary council houses -  and each has something remarkable to offer.

42 of these buildings are now featured in two full colour booklets \'Green Buildings in Norfolk - Volumes I and II\' .  Volume I features a social housing scheme, a backpackers\' hostel, a major office development, schools, a church, holiday accommodation, a research institute and many \'ordinary\' homes together with a detailed appendix on different energy-efficient technologies and building techniques.   Volume II, produced in 2010, continued the theme, with a further 21 projects featured including Itteringham Mill, Copys Green Farm, New Victory Hall, Greengauge Homes, Reepham Low Carbon Community Challenge and an inspiring collection of individual retrofits and self-build projects.  A 10 Step Guide to Greening Your Own Home is also included.
