Green Home Festival

The Green Home Festival is the brainchild of the Construction Industry Collective Voice (CICV), a coalition of Scotland’s leading construction trade and professional bodies. Representatives from its 28 organisations have again pooled their expertise and knowledge to deliver the event as part of the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Running from 14-18 August, the Green Home Festival will feature a variety of shows, which are all free to attend. Most will be in-person and hosted at the offices of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors at 10 Charlotte Square in Edinburgh. One show will be delivered online via webinar. The climate emergency, net zero and soaring energy prices are the driving factors behind the Green Home Festival. Our aim is to engage the public and businesses in the global challenge, offering demonstrations and hands-on guidance to help everyone reduce their carbon footprint and become more energy efficient. With the ongoing cooperation of the Scottish construction sector, the CICV plans to make the festival an annual event that will help build a long-term legacy and demonstrate our commitment to greener and cheaper low-carbon solutions.
