Join this guided CE tour and gain a behind the walls look at a high performing energy efficient home in Bend.
Every 1 in 3 new homes built in Oregon receive an EPS® verifying their energy performance, and the average EPS-rated home in Oregon performs 22% more energy efficient than a code-built home.

Energy Trust of Oregon invites real estate and building professionals to attend this guided tour of an under-construction high performing EPS home in order to gain helpful resources for customers and learn tangible ways that professionals can communicate the benefits of energy efficient and green homes to future clients. Hear directly from the home builder and Energy Trust of Oregon staff about the typical features that go into EPS homes and the homeowner benefits that they provide: A more comfortable, durable home with healthier air quality and cost-saving energy efficiency.

Additional Opportunities
- This site visit follows a 'Help Your Clients Make Energy Efficiency Decisions' live webinar from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM.
