The Green Omaha Coalition will host the 2011 Green Home Tour and Expo on Saturday, October 15th at Creighton University’s Harper Center. The tour and expo will highlight the benefits of sustainable design, urban redevelopment, walk-able neighborhoods and mixed-use design. It will provide Omaha residents with a chance to meet with green product vendors and listen to presentations on a range of green topics, including the City of Omaha’s reEnergize Program.
The reEnergize Program aims to create a robust market for energy evaluation and upgrades, while creating green jobs and boosting consumer confidence. Through the program, local residents, businesses and non-profits who are a part of the Start Zones can receive a Professional Energy Evaluation and upgrades at lower-than-market costs by receiving a bulk discount on energy –saving products and services, allowing them to make customized and cost-effective energy-efficient upgrades to their home.
Omahans interested in participating in the reEnergize Program are encouraged to attend one of Saturday’s orientations. The orientation sessions will explain the goals, benefits and process of the reEnergize Program. There will be three opportunities for orientation on Saturday, with half-hour sessions beginning at 10 AM, 11 AM and Noon. To find out more information about the reEnergize Program, please contact EcoOmaha at 402.444.6731.
