Green Homes Wanted

From Build it Green:

Build It Green home tour organizers are soliciting applications for the second Build It Green Home Tour in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Building on the huge success of the past two home tours in 2005, which drew over 1,700 participants on May 1st in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties and over 1,000 participants on September 25th in Marin and Sonoma Counties, we are excited to offer the next home tour in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties on Sunday, June 4, 2006.

The event is an opportunity for homeowners to share their green building experiences with their community as well as educate tour attendees on the variety of green building practices, products and technologies currently available locally.

Qualifying homes will be located in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties and must demonstrate a variety of green building features and techniques. Any type of residential housing will be considered including new and remodeled single family residences, townhouses, multifamily, duplexes, and condominiums.

The goals of the green home tour are to showcase healthy, durable, energy and resource efficient features which are both aesthetically pleasing AND environmentally friendly, as well as to demonstrate that homes can incorporate green features on any budget.

Have you participated in the construction or retrofit of a green residence? Consider it for the tour.
