Open Eco-Home

By Janie Berg

The Eco-Home is scheduled to have an open house showing.

When: Sun. Feb. 10 and Sun. Feb. 24
Time: 12-4pm
Where: 2809 Snowy Owl Cir Duluth, MN 55805

The Eco-Home is a solar model home demonstrating energy efficiency, renewable energy and green building. The design and construction methods serve as an example of how to build low-energy, high performance homes with attention to conservation and health of people and the environment. Some features include roof-mounted solar photovoltaic array and solar domestic hot water, environmentally friendly materials and finishes, among many others.

The Eco-Home will be open this Sunday from 12-4 and I would like to encourage everyone to come and check it out and learn more. There will also be another one on Sunday the 24th. The Coho Cottage, another energy-efficient home built by Women in Construction, will also be open for tours those days. You can check out www.womenworking.org or www.ecohomeduluth.com for more information or call Kim at Women in Construction at 218.733.1451 or on her cell at 218.590.6502
