When is the Tour?   

The Tour is on Saturday June 6th, from noon to 4 pm. You will be able to soak up the first-hand experience of homeowners and other experts with a wide variety of energy and water resource-saving technologies in new construction and retrofit applications. The Tour only happens once a year usually in the 1st or 2nd week of June to coincide with Environment Week! The tour will be great again this year.
