RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- The High Performance Building Council (HPBC) of the Triangle, a joint council of the Home Builders Associations (HBAs) of Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties and of Raleigh-Wake County, presents the 2021 Spring Green Home Tour on April 24-25 and May 1-2. This year's Tour will be a hybrid event, with some homes featuring in-person touring and all 18 homes featuring their own Online Tours, including a 3D Virtual Tour that will stay live through the end of 2021. The Spring Green Home Tour will showcase a variety of excellent examples of green home construction at various levels of national certification: National Green Building Standard (NGBS), ecoSelect, ENERGY STAR^®, Duke HERO and HERS. Each home in the Tour is inspected and third-party verified, making sure it meets the minimum certification requirements established by its specified program.

With today's home buyers looking for healthy, efficient, and cost-effective homes, high performance builders are poised to fulfill these consumer needs. The Tour showcases a diverse collection of certified high performance new homes, with links for the public to reach out to building professionals for questions and/or comments. Homes entered in the Tour may be in various stages of construction or owner-occupied. This is a unique opportunity to see firsthand some of the innovative high performance building practices at work in our area.
