Saturday, October 3 from 9:00 – 1:00

Want to learn first-hand how to reduce heating costs, increase energy conservation, and even generate surplus clean energy? You’ll learn about all this and more by visiting private homes and public buildings on this free, self-guided tour!

Sites around Jericho and Underhill will be open for the public to tour, ask questions, and discover ways your neighbors are conserving energy, saving money, and protecting the environment in our community. Examples of green features used in homes and buildings on the tour include passive solar heating (advantageous placement of windows), solar hot water collection and storage, the generation of electricity using photovoltaics (solar panels), use of energy-saving appliances and techniques (super-insulation and sealing air spaces), the use of water-saving fixtures, and more!

The tour is being organized by the Jericho Energy Task Force and the Underhill Energy Committee in conjunction with the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA)’s Green Buildings Open House.
