Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County

Green Buildings Open House

Twenty-four homes and businesses that use renewable energy and/or eco-friendly building practices will be open to the public for self-guided tours during this two-day event. Homeowners and/or builders will be on hand to discuss their work and answer questions about solar energy, wind power, geothermal, solar hot water, straw bale construction, timber framing, non-toxic finishes, local and reclaimed materials, and more. Visit http://ccetompkins.org/2011gboh for details on specific sites and which day they’re open.  Donations accepted; purchase of a $5 wristband provides entrance to all sites on both days, and helps to cover the costs of coordinating the event.  Van tours to some sites are available for an additional fee.  For more information, contact Guillermo Metz at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County (607) 272-2292 or gm52@cornell.edu.
