2009 Goal Net Zero Tour - Tickets still available!
May 17, Portland
 (Photos: Mitchel Snyder. 2008 Goal Net Zero Tour)
With all new homes in 2009, The
Goal Net Zero Tour tells the story of three Portland homes reaching for Net
Zero Energy use. Redefining the American Dream, this tour of homes
displays the ultimate in sustainable living and provides in depth information
for home owners, designers, builders and real estate professionals. AIA
credits and CEU's available for professionals.
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, Oregon Department of Energy., Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc., and the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability. 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.
