FOR ONE DAY ONLY, June 4th 2011 from noon-4pm you can see what was once impossible realized!

We <3 the Eco-Solar Home tour and are super excited that there are 9 sites to visit this year! And it's FREE!

These homes in the Edmonton area are showcasing:

solar electricity

solar water heating

geothermal heating

energy efficiency

combined heat and power

and 3 net-zero energy houses (!!!)

Come join us! We will be having fun, as we do, so come out and learn how we can ALL SAVE MONEY reducing OUR heating, electricity and water bills, and OUR environmental footprint.

Check out their web site at www.ecosolar.ca for all the details about the tour and the houses.  There is even a feature in Avenue Magizine this month about the tour!

We are very happy to be monitoring the Sustainable Building Symposium this year! We will be on site both in Edmonton and Calgary tracking things like energy, waste, and water to assist the Canada Green Building Council Alberta Chapter in their goal to reduce their environmental impact at their events!

Look for us at the SBS wearing our cool swank!
