Are you a Passive House Owner? Join the MRES Sustainability Tour.
The Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES) is looking for homes to feature on its National Solar Tour October 1 and 2. Sign up here. The MRES Sustainability Tour showcases homes and businesses in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin that feature solar installations, energy storage solutions, water-saving landscapes and more. Visitors can explore the houses virtually or in-person to hear solar-adopters share their planning and installation experiences first-hand, and learn about the cost-savings of sustainable practices and choices to fit their needs.
