The CRES 2012 Denver Area
Sustainable Living Tour is
scheduled for Saturday,
September 29th in the south
Denver metro area.
We enjoyed selecting and photographing 16
unique homes featuring shining
examples of low cost energy
efficiency measures, from
sustainable gardening, to
passive solar design and active
solar installations, electric
vehicles and more.
Jump down to
see more of the tour homes now!
Interested in saving money and
energy?
Come see a home with an annual utility bill
under $300! We even have a cluster of homes
located along the light rail line which will
take visitors to the North American Passive
House Conference exhibit hall where they can
view state of the art building components
for super-efficient homes as part of the
tour.
New, super-efficient
home lets homeowners monitor solar
energy production |
Be one of several hundred tour-goers and
learn how to take the next steps toward a
more sustainable lifestyle in your home.
Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to
chat with homeowners, designers,
do-it-yourselfers and contractors about
solar hot water, solar electric
(photovoltaics), water conservation and
energy efficiency, natural building
materials, and alternative construction
techniques. Pick up some great ideas for
your current home, or dream big for a future
home.
Register
early for
extra value!
On Thursday,
September 27th, at 7 p.m. at 3245 Eliot
Street in Denver, CRES hosts an informative
and fun session entitled “Going
Green Without Breaking the Bank: Options in
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.”

Whether you buy your ticket ahead of time
or the day of the tour, you’ll want to check
