This event is part of Sustainable Building Week. \nBuilding on a phenomenal event in 2019\, this year’s tour is more relevant than ever\, and brimming with possibility. Explore a mix of new and retrofit homes\, including single family\, ADU\, multifamily\, and affordable housing. Learn all the surprisingly simple\, accessible\, and innovate strategies for getting to zero. All this from the safety and comfort of your own home. \nThis is a two part event–all ticket types get you into both sessions. In addition to the two live tour sessions\, an on-demand virtual tour experience for each home will be released to event registrants on the first day of Sustainable Building Week: Monday\, Oct 12th. \n— Event Schedule — \nGo Zero Tour – Virtual Neighborhood 1 \nWed\, Oct. 14th @ 4-6 PM \nGo Zero Tour – Virtual Neighborhood 2 \nWed\, Oct. 21st @ 4-6 PM

SUMMARY:Hang Dry for Climate 2020
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon’s 2019 Hang Dry for Climate week received a flood of media attention\, and helped to re-center hang drying laundry as a simple\, time tested way to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Whether you are a life-long hang dryer or a complete newcomer\, you can help grow the movement to abandon the unnecessary advent of the electric tumble dryer–and win prizes! We are very excited to partner with the African American Alliance for Homeownership (AAAH) and Electrify Now for this year’s Hang Dry. \nFULL DETAILS ON EVENTBRITE (link below)

SUMMARY:Webinar on Heat Pump Hot Water Heaters - Game Changers in Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will take place on Tuesday 3/31 at 7pm. We’ll post access details for the webinar several days before. \nWe hope our entire community is faring well during these challenging times. Since all events in person are necessarily postponed for the foreseeable future\, we thought we would move our work online where we can still meet and discuss our region’s transition toward clean energy. \nHere at Solar Oregon we’re working on a series of webinars featuring fascinating topics to help us pass this unprecedented period of being at home. Our first discussion will be part of our Go Zero program and will talk about Heat Pump Water Heaters – Game Changers in Efficiency. \nWhy be so excited and devote an entire webinar to a water heater? Because heat pump technology is 3 to 4 times more efficient than other ways to heat and can save money and energy and help us all Go Zero. \nThese water heaters are relatively new so need some introduction and explanation and we hope you’ll join us to learn more!

SUMMARY:Energy Resilience with Solar + Storage
DESCRIPTION:Solar and batteries are fueling a transformation of the energy grid\, and together they can be vital a resource during a power outage. This ‘energy resilience’ is especially important in the Pacific Northwest due to our significant earthquake hazard. Luckily\, as costs decrease this technology is becoming accessible to home and business owners\, as well as public institutions. Come learn all about solar + batteries (a.k.a. ‘storage’) as we lead a discussion with regional experts\, as well as homeowners who know the benefits first hand. Speakers include: \n\nJonna Papaefthimiou – Portland Bureau of Emergency Management\nAdam Schultz – Oregon Department of Energy\nDan Bihn – Professional energy communicator and storyteller\nZach Snyder – Solar Oregon\n\nWould you like to connect with the Solar Oregon community? Come early for a special member happy hour from 5-7 PM. Both events are free and open to the public. \nSolar Oregon Happy Hour: 5-7 PM \nMain Event: 7-9 PM

SUMMARY:Solar Action Night! Save the ITC + Basics of Solar
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon and Sierra Club are teaming up for a Solar Action Night this November. \nWe’re going to start with a “Basics of Solar Presentation” where we’ll hear about all the reasons for folks to go solar and all the ways you can do so.  \nThen we’ll do our part together to help Defend the ITC – (Investment Tax Credit). The Investment Tax Credit is one of the most successful clean energy policies in history and allows homeowners to receive federal tax credits for installing solar panels.   Next year it’s being reduced and soon it will disappear. \nWith solar energy growing fast but still only at 2% of our national energy mix now  is not the time to remove important incentives for families to install solar. \nPizza is provided but we ask you to bring another dish to share! \nNote- we only have space for 40 at this one so if you’re plans change and you’re unable to make it\, please update your RSVP and we’ll offer your space to someone else. \nJoin us November 7 and let’s Save the ITC!
