As a minister meets the building industry to discuss ways to make new housing more energy efficient, artist Clare Bull explains what it is like to live in the country's first environmental showhome.

It contains hundreds of environmentally-friendly features including a solar thermal system which provides 50% of the energy needed for water heating.

The experience I had in the EcoHouse was fantastic. I'm very keen on environmental issues and really want to reduce my carbon footprint.

The EcoHouse is a showhome but I lived there is if it was my real house and it was inspiring to see how easy it was to live like this.
