Solar and Green Building Tour Continuing

Nearly a thousand people attended the Green Building and Solar Tour in six communities in North Carolina last Saturday. The event continues this weekend in other cities. Check out the tours and activities to be held this Saturday, October 11th, in Asheville, Boone/High Country, Chatham County, Fayetteville, Hendersonville, and Raleigh.

The NC Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA) sponsors the self-guided tours to show a wide variety of green building solutions installed, in homes and offices in the state. Participants may see ways to implement these practices in their own buildings, both new and renovated.

The Boone tour will begin at the Watauga County Agriculture Conference Center, shown at left, and run from 8 a.m to 4 p.m. For information about the tour in your city, and to purchase tickets, see NCSEA Events. Ticket prices are $5 for members of NCSEA; $5 for students and teachers; $10 for non-members; and $15 for a carload. Children under 16 are free. You might get some great ideas!
