Premier, statewide tour of zero energy and “path to zero” homes in Oregon
Residential buildings account for almost a quarter of all energy usage in the state of Oregon, and zero energy home design is an important strategy in climate adaptation. Join Solar Oregon for an open house tour of zero energy and “path to zero” homes across the state: the Go Zero Tour 2022 presented by Energy Trust of Oregon. This event is part of Sustainable Building Week.
This year’s tour features a diverse and exciting mix of projects. Explore new and retrofit homes, including single family, multifamily, town homes, and accessory dwelling units, and learn the value of electrification, energy resilience, and energy efficiency. Meet the homeowners and builders behind each site, and learn about their path to zero energy.
Tour Format & Locations
This is an in-person, open house tour with 8 sites in Portland. Ticketed attendees will receive an official map and a list of tour addresses in their ticket confirmation email.
The Saturday tour features homes in SE and NE Portland and the Sunday tour features homes in SW and NW Portland. Attendees can expect 5-25 minute drive times between the sites.
Want to go green with your transportation? Bike and public transportation routes will be provided for both circuits! Bike routes are about 12 miles each day and include a featured lunch stop. For each day of the tour you bike or bus instead of driving, you will get one ticket entered into a raffle to win a prize! Just email a photo of you on your bike or on the bus to info@solaroregon.org.
