Sometimes the best way to get started is to get inspired. Let your imagination run with a tour to 3+ home sites in the greater Grand Marais area that feature a variety of energy efficient technologies. You’ll meet the owners, discuss their planning processes, success and setbacks, and have a chance to ask questions. Sites will include photo-volatic solar systems, solar hot water systems, super-insulated housing and passive design, all on a small home-scale. Participants will meet at North House for an opening discussion and to arrange car-pooling.
