On Saturday, May 9, in Albuquerque, a series of lectures and workshops will be held along with a vendor's show, for people to learn more about green building and see products and materials that are environmentally friendly. During the week, there will also be a tour of green commercial buildings.
A guided tour of commercial green buildings in Albuquerque and Santa Fe is being planned to take place on May 13. See ticket information and tour locations below.
On May 16 &17, the 10th Annual GreenBuilt Tour will showcase 25 homes in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, and environs. This year’s tour also includes a home in Farmington. The tour features homes that have been certified under Build Green New Mexico or the LEED for Homes rating system as well as construction or renovations with exceptional green features or innovative materials and techniques. These features include use of passive and/or active solar design and technology, sustainable design and construction, new and different alternative building envelopes, significant green attainment and/or unique, innovative, and comprehensive green features.
Homes on the tour will be rated for “green-ness” and awards will be given to the “greenest” homes at the opening event on May 8.
The GreenBuilt Tour is an excellent opportunity for the public to learn about the features of a green home and how sustainable homes are built, and to find inspiration for ways to green one’s own home. Homes on the Green Built Tour are chosen by a selection committee and all fulfill certain green building standards.
