ECOE will present an update on their plans for Exeter's first source of community-owned solar power and their plans for the future, and there will be two guided tours of the impressive eco-renovation at Bicton EaRTH.

Bicton EaRTH is a centre for renewable energy skills training, environmental education and demonstration in practice of sustainable building practices.

EaRTH is a refurbishment of 2 redundant agricultural buildings, completed in January 2012, incorporating a range of energy efficiency, passive design and integrated technology measures to create a BREEAM Very Good building that achieves an A rated EPC.

The building is a multi-functional training, conference and meeting space, retaining its original character whilst integrating modernity.
