Visit Populus at the EEBA Conference Off-site Builders Challenge Home Tour sponsored by the US DOE Building America – Builders Challenge on September 28, 2009.

The tour will be led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Residential Building Technologies Team Leader, Ed Pollock, and will feature two Builders Challenge qualified homes.

The first home on the tour will be the Solar Harvest house in Boulder, Colorado by Eric Doub of Ecofutures Building.  The second featured home will be  Sean Smith and Company’s Washington Park Duplex which recently earned a 39 on the Builders Challenge E-Scale and is pending LEED for Homes Gold certification with the USGBC.
