Ecoscopes (Personal visit)
This is essentially a private visit for individuals, couples or small groups to HHP rather than a large group tour or ‘open’ event, so that we can concentrate on those aspects that are of most interest to you. This could be for a number of reasons:
- Interested in specific aspects of HHP that you require more detailed information and discussions/advice
- As an initial step before taking on HHP for longer term consultancy work
- Cannot make one of the advertised ‘open’ events and there are not enough of you for a dedicated group tour (e.g. on holiday in area or visiting from abroad)
- Student requiring specific & detailed information for a dissertation or project work.
We have far more flexibility with dates for such a visit and can usually set up a visit within a week or two depending on your requirements and availability of the most appropriate HHP member.
You decide what you would like included in your visit - It can include any of the following (and more!):
- Tour of one of the earth-sheltered homes including energy saving features
- External tour of site focusing on autonomous water systems
- External tour of site focusing on renewable energy systems
- HHP initial assessment of your plans/ ideas with suggestions for follow up
- Technical discussion of construction specification and implementation (this may require extra time or a separate meeting).
Typically an Ecoscope lasts between 2 and 4 hours.
