The 2009 Oregon Green and Solar Tour will showcase homes that incorporate all aspects of sustainability. From solar features and reclaimed building materials to low energy consumption and water conservation technologies, this tour is an excellent way to see the current state of green building. The tour will kick off with a keynote speech by renowned Northwest architect Nathan Good and will end with a People’s Choice Award and celebration.
As a way to learn about how to shrink their carbon footprints, tour visitors can park their vehicles and ride a bus to all 6 homes. Buses run continuously and stop at each home for drop-off and pick-up. A $5 bus pass holder can get on or off at any scheduled bus stop throughout the day. Parking will be available at the Bend Senior Center.
The tour will be held on Saturday, October 3. The cost is $10 for Cascadia members and $15 for nonmembers. More details and registration details can be found at here.
