Green Home Tours are a great way to showcase homes that have incorporated features that are better for the environment and occupants.
Build It Green attended the 10th annual San Diego Green Building Council’s Green Home tour last month. The demand to showcase more homes has grown since they started. For the first time the tour has been expanded to take place over two-days. It was a self-guided driving tour and featured 14 homes – including a community center, luxury single family new construction houses and town homes, existing homes that have updated features to incorporate more sustainable features, and straw bale houses.
We were lucky to be onsite when the mayor of Imperial Beach, Robert Patton, pulled up on his bicycle to one of the homes on the tour. He formally proclaimed October 19th to be Green Homes Day in Imperial Beach to recognize the 10th anniversary of the San Diego Green Building Council’s Green Homes tour. It inspires all members of the community–including industry professionals and members of the general public–to make more environmentally responsible choices when it comes to building and design.
If interested in organizing a green homes tour in your neighborhood, please let us know! We’d love to help bring attention to your efforts. Contact: [email protected]
