• The house will contain a range of environmental monitoring equipment. The tenants will need to leave this equipment on for the duration of the tenancy. This will allow the environmental conditions of the property to be measured
• From time to time there may be interest from the media in the competition and the families living in the properties. We would expect the families to assist with any requests in order to raise the profile of the competition and the houses.

We want the successful families to enjoy the experience of living in two of the most environmentally friendly houses in the UK. It is a great opportunity for a family with strong environmental values, or those who wish to change their behaviour. Should you have any questions regarding the competition or the eco-homes please contact United Welsh.
