Sustainable Connections celebrates 20 years of highlighting local green homes this year with the return of its Green Home Tours and Talks.
On April 23 and 24, the Energy and Green Building (EGB) program will release six immersive virtual tours of the greenest homes in the Pacific Northwest. Event attendees can participate in up to seven interactive virtual workshops that will offer green home resources such as learning what it means to be net zero.
EBG program assistant Katy Coleman said this is the first year Sustainable Connections has been able to provide homes tours in communities outside of Bellingham. “This year we will have virtual tours of a green home in Anacortes and another on San Juan Island,” she said.
Homes selected for the virtual tours follow two themes: Aging in place and net zero homes, Coleman said.
“Aging in place means designing a home to provide longevity and accessibility for homeowners as they age,” she said. “Net zero homes are designed to be as energy efficient as possible.”
Coleman said Sustainable Connections is most excited for all of the great topics the workshop presenters will address. “We hope people learn more about high-performance buildings and energy efficient features they can install in their own homes.”
To access the resources, virtual tours, video interviews from local experts, workshops and a directory of local businesses, attendees can purchase an all access pass for $5 online at sustainableconnections.org.
