This is your chance to see more than 75 homes, businesses, schools and government facilities featuring green building products and technologies on this self-guided tour in communities across North Carolina. 

The Green Building & Solar Tour in Winston-Salem, which is conducted by NCSEA in collaboration with community leaders, Forsyth Technical Community College, and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), educates citizens with the most up-to-date information on a wide range of green building solutions and technologies, available all across our state. Participants also realize that they have an opportunity to implement these solutions in their own homes and offices. 
This local tour will highlight one residential, one industrial facility, and two commercial sites featuring various green products and technologies, including the first LEED certified commercial interior project in Forsyth County.
Kick-off event/in-person registration will take place at the offices of Walter, Robbs, Callahan and Pierce Architects at 530 N. Trade Street in the heart of Winston-Salem's Downtown Arts District from 9-11 am. Participants will receive a copy of the local tour guide, which includes information on the tour sites and addresses, the statewide Green Building & Solar Tour book, and other educational materials.
For more information, contact Dr. Rosa Otero with Forsyth Technical Community College at 336-757-3200 or rotero@forsythtech.edu.
