Dear Colleagues,
Build It Green home tour organizers are still actively 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.
If you have participated in the construction or retrofit of a green
residence, we encourage you to submit an application for the tour. We would
also appreciate it if you could forward this announcement to other
colleagues that might be interested. Those interested in showcasing their
green homes can receive more information as well as download a word or pdf
application at www.BuildItGreen.org <http://www.builditgreen.org/> . Please
note: Our Application deadline has been extended. Please contact Michele
Brown by November 28th at (510) 845-5106 ext. 230 if you have a project you
would like to discuss.
