2009 Green Building & Solar Tour: October 3 & 10

The 2009 Green Building & Solar Tour, which is conducted by The NC Sustainable Energy Association in collaboration with local organizers and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), will educate citizens with the most up-to-date information on a wide range of green building solutions, technologies and energy efficiency measures. The 2009 Green Building & Solar Tour will take place on Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 10.

This is your chance to visit and "see up close" various sizes and styles of homes, businesses, schools and government facilities featuring green building products and technologies on this self-guided tour in communities across across North Carolina. Site owners, green builders, contractors, installers and other experts will also be available at tour sites to answer questions and provide more details.

The 2008 Green Building & Solar Tour featured over 75 sites in 12 communities from the mountains to the coast over two weekends - and the 2009 tour is expected to be even larger and more successful!

Stay tuned for more information on the 2009 Green Building & Solar Tour taking place across the state.
