Twenty-four homes and businesses in Ithaca area 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. Half of the homes will be open on Saturday, and half on Sunday; please visit sites ONLY on the days that the owners have agreed to be open! Visitors may view participating sites between 10am and 4pm each day.
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. 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.
