<item_type_metadata:activities>&lt;div&gt;The Green Homes Network, a new Scottish Government initiative managed by the Energy Saving Trust, was launched last year. The network provides individuals with the unique opportunity to visit a local home that has a renewables system installed. On Saturday 29 September homes across Dumfriesshire will open their doors to visitors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Visitors can find out first-hand how different renewables systems run in real homes and hear about actual costs and savings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Full details of all homes are available at greenhomesopenday.org.uk or call your local Energy Saving Scotland advice centre on 0800 512 012 to find out more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;www.greenhomesopenday.org.uk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</item_type_metadata:activities>
