Green Building Tour

The annual National Solar & Green Building Tour is showcasing Olympia area homes, commercial buildings and building innovations. For anyone who's heart beats faster at the sound of terms such as "radiant floor heating", "passive solar design", "tank less water heaters" or "rainwater catchment systems", or for people who have always been curious as to what "building green" looks like in practice, this is the opportunity to see how it's done.

On Saturday, September 27th, from 10:00pm until 4:00pm, local buildings will be held open for visitors. Some of the locations will be hosted by guides who can point out and discuss the "green" features. The tour itself is self-guided and free of charge.

Up for viewing are some very interesting homes, such as Dee Williams's "little house", Dean Edenstrom's straw bale constructed cottage or the Blankenship's passive solar home.

I'll be on tour and hope to see some familiar faces there.
