Green Energy Nation Wins Solar Tour RFP

For Immediate Release: Green Energy Nation, a Boulder marketing firm ingrained in the green building & renewable energy community, is awarded the proposal for promoting the 2010 Solar & Green Homes Tour DENVER September 25th and BOULDER September 26th

The Solar & Green Home Tour in the Metro area is in its third year as part of the National Solar Home Tours each fall. This year, Denver, presented by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society and Boulder, presented by the Center for Resource Conservation, have joined together to promote this year’s tour. Save the dates to be a part of an event designed to showcase homes that are leaders in renewable energy and sustainable design.

On Saturday, September 25th, the Denver Tour will include 13 homes, 11 are new to this year’s tour and they are clustered in the Highlands Neighborhood, the Golden/Arvada corridor and in Evergreen. The homes span all types from high end new construction to smaller, more typical energy retrofits.

The following day, Sunday, September 26th in Boulder, there are 15 homes clustered in Louisville, Boulder and Nederland. These too include “dream homes” and typical single family remodels. In the past, tour homes focused on primarily PV Solar. This year, the selection committees at each non-profit paid particular attention to homes with other efficiency upgrades and to include homes with solar thermal and wind as well as PV.

This year’s goal is to educate at least 1000 participants on the possibilities for their homes and to reach new markets where average homeowners leave the tour with ideas for taking Action. In Denver, there is a supplementary tour of Commercial solar installations where business owners can see how the technology meets their energy savings goals.

Online registration for the home tours, only $5.00 per day, will be posted on the home page of the CRES and CRC websites soon. Please help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity to see a wide variety of Solar & green built homes.
