Announcing the 2009 Goal Net Zero Tour - May 17, Portland
You are invited to attend this day-long event which tells the story
of three Portland homes attempting Net Zero Energy use. We will begin the day with a workshop to
familiarize you with the strategies and details to look for in each
home on the tour, and to inform you of the financial incentives
available in Oregon. The afternoon tour showcases:
- One home under construction and designed for Net Zero displaying construction details before they are hidden by finishes;
- One recently built and occupied home designed for Net Zero;
- One vintage home in the early stages of renovation with the
goal of Net Zero. This home will host a blower door demonstration,
which measures unplanned air leakage.
Support for the Goal Net Zero Home Tour has been provided by Urbansun, Cascadia Region Green Building Council, and the Oregon Department of Energy. If interested in sponsoring this event contact michael@solaroregon.org.
All proceeds support Solar Oregon's mission of conducting outreach and education to encourage Oregonians to choose solar energy.
