Hello from the road!\u00a0 I am currently on my own unofficial West Coast Passive House tour and have heard of several opportunities for folks to visit an actual Passive House project, but you have to act quickly on the first two tours.\u00a0 The first is an official tour that the public and West Coast Green participants are invited to attend in California.\u00a0 I have visited 3 of the projects and recommend the tour for anyone who is interested in seeing what is being done in California.\u00a0 For more information visit the Passive House California site. <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The second opportunity I have heard about is the North Residence PH and Built Green level 5 project in Olympia, WA.\u00a0 Tessa Smith, designer and fellow CPHC, has a PH project in the framing stage that is part of the Olympia Master Builders tour happening in October.\u00a0 If you are interested in seeing her project, it is open to the public Oct.2-3 &\u00a0 Oct. 9-10 from 11:00 am- 5:00 pm.\u00a0 The address is 1114 Marion Street NE ., Olympia, WA.<\/p>\n

The third opportunity is associated with the 5th Annual North American Passive House conference in Portland, OR.\u00a0 This conference, being held Nov. 5-7 has arranged an optional excursion for conference participants to a few PH homes in the Portland area on the 7th.\u00a0 For additional information, please visit the Passive House US conference page.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have seen some fabulous projects on my trip and will be heading towards Salem, Portland, & Olympia to see several more.\u00a0 I’ll be blogging about my trip on the Small Planet Workshop blog starting in October.\u00a0 The idea for my trip came from the Small Planet Workshop site owner, Albert Rooks, who had read John Steinbeck’s “Travels With Charlie”.\u00a0 Steinbeck, knowing he did not have long to live, decided to tour America and write about what he saw.\u00a0 He took his dog Charlie, loaded up a small camper and set off.\u00a0 My trip has been similar, without the dying part… or the dog.. or the camper… or 47 of the 50 states… but similar!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Be sure to check out the Small Planet Workshop site and start reading about some of the fabulous Passive House projects that are happening on the West Coast.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
