Go Zero! Tour 2026

Did you know that residential buildings account for nearly 25% of all energy usage in Oregon? Zero energy homes change the equation by producing enough renewable electricity to meet their entire annual consumption. By combining energy-efficient design with solar power, these homes are healthier, quieter, more comfortable, and significantly more affordable to run. Getting started is easier than you think, and we're here to help you take the next step!

Join us on Saturday, October 3rd between 1 - 4 PM to...

• Tour homes in Portland (and Salem) to view their setups and systems
• Meet the homeowners and builders behind each site
• Hear about their experiences going net zero
• Discover the value that energy efficiency provides!

Afterward from 3 - 5 PM, visit us at Hi-Top Tavern on Fremont in Portland for a Happy Hour featuring free food and videos of other net-zero homes across the state!

This year's event is FREE and open to all!

Please RSVP to save your spot and receive information as it is made available.
