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 the Hendersonville area, which is conducted by NCSEA in collaboration with the Global Warming Task Force of Henderson County 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 begins at 11:30am, will feature Hendersonville's first LEED certified green building, 310 South Main Street, and other sites with various green building products and technologies including roof mounted solar panels, rain water catchment system, cistern collection for irrigation and fountain, low-flow appliances, daylighting, drought resistant landscaping and native plants, etc.

Kick-off event and registration: 310 South Main Street, Hendersonville. Participants will receive a local tour guide, which includes information on the tour sites, addresses and a detailed map, the statewide Green Building & Solar Tour book, and other educational materials.  

To get an idea of what you can experience on the 2008 Tour, download and review the 2007 NC Green Building & Solar Tour Book.
