The SVBA is presenting the 2011 Parade of Homes on October 22 – 23. Open house times on Saturday are 10 am – 4pm and Sunday 1 pm – 4pm. This annual event gives you a chance to see the latest innovations in home building, learn from the builders what it takes to build high performance, and to meet some of the innovators in the community. I encourage you to take time to visit a few of the homes in the parade this year.Your support of this event is very important for those taking time to prepare their homes for the parade and will go a long way of supporting the industry the is so key to our economic recovery.
We have an entry in this year’s parade in Crossroads Farm. The Connelly residence features a rainwater harvesting system, vegetative retaining walls, high performance insulation and Heating and Cooling system, and self-cleaning windows. Come out to see me at the house and I will be happy to answer questions, give you a tour, and talk about any building science questions you might have for your own home.
