1 Season

Eco House Challenge is a reality television show that aired in 2007, starring Tanya Ha and Glenn Hall. The show aims to promote eco-friendly living by challenging two families to renovate their homes in a more sustainable manner. Each family is assigned a budget and a team of experts, including architects, builders, and environmental consultants. They are given three months to complete their renovation, during which they must make eco-friendly choices and reduce their carbon footprint.

Throughout the show, Tanya and Glenn provide guidance to the families, offering advice on sustainable materials and technologies. They also highlight the seriousness of carbon emissions and climate change, and encourage viewers at home to make small changes in their own lives to reduce their impact on the environment.

The families face a number of challenges throughout the renovation process. They must find ways to incorporate solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient lighting into their homes. They also have to choose sustainable materials like bamboo flooring, recycled timber, and low-VOC paints.

In addition to making eco-friendly choices, the families must also consider the aesthetic and functional aspects of their renovation. They must create spaces that are not only beautiful, but also functional and comfortable for their families to live in.

At the end of the three-month period, Tanya and Glenn review the renovations and determine which family has made the greatest progress towards sustainability. The winning family receives a prize, and both families are encouraged to continue making eco-friendly choices in their daily lives.

Eco House Challenge is a unique and engaging look at sustainability and eco-friendly living. By showcasing the challenges and rewards of renovating a home with an eco-friendly focus, the show inspires viewers to take action in their own lives. Whether through small changes like switching to energy-efficient light bulbs or larger projects like installing solar panels, the show demonstrates that everyone can make a difference in the fight against climate change.

Overall, Eco House Challenge is an informative and enjoyable television show that provides practical advice and inspiration for those looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

6. Final Countdown

February 1, 2007

Two days to go in the final weeks challenge and nerves are starting to fray. The Shepherds have taken a big risk putting the kids in control. Spike Edwards has been up all night. Taking a leaf out of Cam Shepherd's eco book, he has drawn a master plan, but Mary thinks it's too late.

5. Waste Not Want Not

February 1, 2007

Both families are ready to start the final challenge. For one week, they must juggle water, energy and transport, and now also tackle waste. If they fail to maintain just one of their hotspots, they will have to do the whole week again! Tanya has concerns that Shauna is carrying the children through the challenge and she confronts the family with some incriminating evidence to prove it.

4. Driving Me Crazy

February 1, 2007

The Shepherd family face their toughest test yet. The transport challenge is underway, but if university student Jesse's attitude is anything to go by they could be in for a rough ride. For passing the original water challenge both families receive their water efficient white-goods, and the Edwards finally pass the energy challenge.

3. Emission Impossible

February 1, 2007

After living in darkness for a week, the Edwards finally pass the water challenge and their energy is returned. Relieved and upbeat they move on to the next hotspot challenge; a 60% reduction in their energy use. Back at the Shepherds, 20 year old Mac has been left at home unsupervised, and Shauna has grave concerns he's blown their energy target.

2. Water Torture

February 1, 2007

For twenty-four hours both families have lived without energy, water, transport and waste removal, and now Glenn is back to turn their water hot-spot on and set a sustainable reduction level. With the water challenge in place, it's time for Eco Coach, Tanya Ha to start her coaching and she quickly zeros in on their un-eco behaviour.

1. Stop Your Gassing

February 1, 2007

Glenn, 'the guy in charge of the challenge', shocks the Shepherd and Edward families' with the 'eco shut down'. Turning off all four hot-spots, he locks their bins, clamps their vehicles, and disconnects their water and energy supplies from the mains.
