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 Chatham County, which is conducted by NCSEA in collaboration with the Central Carolina Community College Greenbuilding Program 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. Participants also realize that they have an opportunity to implement these solutions in their own homes and offices. 
This local tour, which runs from 9:30am to 4pm, will feature 9 homes throughout Chatham County including green building products and technologies such as solar hot water systems, photovoltaic system, an off grid farm homestead, and high energy efficiency Habitat for Humanity homes.
Kick-off event and registration: Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro. (Pick up your local tour guide, which includes information on the Chatham County tour sites, addresses and a detailed map, the statewide Green Building & Solar Tour book, and other educational materials.)
