On 2nd May 2017, Designing Buildings Wiki attended the Grand Designs Live London exhibition, for a private tour of ‘Green Heroes’ by the face of Grand Designs, Kevin McCloud.

Returning to the exhibition, ‘Kevin McCloud’s Green Heroes’ is inspired by his passion for innovative eco-friendly product design and green building products.

[[File:Greenheroes11.jpg]]

This year’s list of brands that have been carefully curated by McCloud, include the following:

= Egloo =

3D printed non-electrical heater than can heat an entire room

[[File:Greenheroes1.jpg]]

Developed as a means of combating the waste of continuous electrical energy used for heating domestic environments, Egloo, offers an alternative for fueled heating.

The 3D-printed design is simple: Egloo features a double-dome layout where the smaller, inner dome heats up quickly, then slowly radiates heat to the outer dome so that the unit remains safe enough to touch. The design only takes about five minutes to reach its highest heat and with four candles inside it, will last long enough to heat a 20 sq. m (215 sq. ft) space for up to five hours.
