This year I am chairing the Green Building Open House Tour in Western New York!

Our tour goes alongside with the National Solar Tour and the NESEA Green Building Open House Tour! Last year, we had over 1500 people attend and tour the 45 Sites across WNY that were free, self guided and open to the public . . It was HUGE. I was proud to be a co-chair and proud for WNY.

This year we are aiming for a solid 25 sites. I have James Mahoney and Emily Gibson helping me pull the pieces together. Of course, this is through WNYSEA which is the local chapter of NESEA. Some of the sites we are aiming to have open that day are the Solar Strand, The Solar Tech Park on River Road, PUSH’s Green Development Zone and many others. We anticipate a solid tour with several options for solar PV, solar thermal, bale on bale, geothermal and more!

Anyhow, I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Save the date: October 13th, 2012 is the Green Building Open House Tour of Western New York!
