Sustainable Showcase of Homes Features Green Building Techniques

Join us for an open house event across the Madison area to tour Green Built Certified and/or Energy Star homes and remodel projects and learn more about what people in our communities are doing. The 2010 Sustainable Showcase of homes is an all day event on Saturday, October 23^rd from 10-4pm. An after-event party will be held at the Habitat ReStore, 208 Cottage Grove Road, Madison for networking and business contacts plus beer tasting. Proceeds from the event will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Dane County.

The showcase will contain a mix of new, remodeled and existing homes that were built with the Green Built Home certification. Properties will highlight many different “green” principals and products including renewable energy, energy efficient construction, water conservation and more throughout the Dane county area.

This tour allows homeowners and contractors to discuss their green building techniques and the newest innovations in sustainable building and remodeling. Tour attendees will be able to ask questions and see firsthand how they could incorporate green building practices in their current or future home. More than 20 homes and sites will be featured in various stages of construction and certification.

The tickets will be $10 per person and sold at all four Home Savings Bank locations and also available for purchase at sites the day of the event.
