IT’S THIS WEEKEND! Bring your
friends and family to the Solar Tour!
Attention
all homeowners, green advocates, and smart investors! The 23nd
Annual Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Tour of Solar & Green Homes will be
held on October 5th and 6th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This fall, green enthusiasts like you have
the unique opportunity to view more than 50 energy-efficient homes throughout
D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
D.C. metro area residents will open their homes on the tour to showcase a variety of solar
design, technology and sustainable living concepts, including solar electric
(photovoltaic panels) and solar hot water systems, passive design, radiant
heat, energy-efficient appliances, and energy-saving building construction
techniques. Many
homeowners also practice energy and water conservation measures, recycle and
compost, and drive fuel-efficient or alternative energy vehicles.
Get your “passport” or Tour Guide for
$5 at MOM’s Organic Markets - check the website for more information on
distributors. This guide is your
admission to the tour. Not only does it
serve as a map with locations and directions to each home, but it provides a
wealth of information on what’s hot in renewable energy: new technologies for
residential homes, solar leasing, and the incentives and affordability of green
systems. The guide can also be
downloaded for free in September at http://solartour.org/download.
Our
sister tour, the 4th Annual Maryland Tour of Solar & Green Homes will
highlight more than 30 green homes and buildings from Frederick, Hagerstown, to
Western Maryland. The tour includes a
variety of residential solar homes featuring many energy efficient improvements
as well as renewable energy improved buildings and properties. The Maryland
Tour Guide can be purchased for a tax-deductible $2 fee from participating
distributors in Maryland.
