1: Britain's First Smart Home

50% Renewable - A podcast by National Trust

In this episode we explore a house which could be described as the world’s first smart home. The Northumberland residence of British engineer William Armstrong, has been lit by hydro power for more than 100 years. With our drive to generate 50% of the Trust’s energy from renewable sources by 2021, we look at lessons from the past that may help power our our sustainable future.
