Spokane GREEN + SOLAR Home & Landscape Tour seeks residential projects

The second annual GREEN + SOLAR Home & Landscape Tour and Information Fair will take place Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010. The annual tour is comprised of new and remodeled projects showcasing differing sustainable design styles, construction strategies and lifestyle choices. Last year over 300 tour-goers visited a wide variety of projects throughout Spokane County.

“The tour is seeking to feature a wide variety of projects ranging from small do-it-yourself owner remodels to large contractor executed additions. We want to highlight all the ways homeowners can go green – whether it is a custom built strawbale home, a green kitchen remodel or an urban chicken coop designed with reclaimed materials.” says tour organizer Alli Kingfisher.

Frieda Morgenstern and John Brinton opened their home to the tour last year and won the annual People’s Choice Award. “We participated in the tour because we love our home and love to share what we learned about sustainable building with our neighbors. It was a great experience.”

Do you have an interesting residential project you’d like to have considered for this year’s tour? We have two ways to participate.

1) If you are a Building Industry Professional (architect, builder, contractor, supplier etc.) your $200 project entry fee will help us cover costs associated with putting on the tour, includes an ad in the tour booklet, listing as an even sponsor and will support other local education programming of the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild.

2) If you are a homeowner (with no financial interest in being on the tour) your project can be featured for free.

Nomination forms are due by April 30, 2010 and can be downloaded here.

GREEN + SOLAR Home & Landscape Tour is presented annually each September by the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
