The SECRES (South Eastern Colorado Renewable Energy Society) Solar Tour 2009 was a success! This year’s theme was “RE-Powering Southern Colorado.” We got to meet many nice people and raise awareness of the LEED for Homes program in Colorado. This year we focused on two things:

1. Our LEED Platinum home in Divide (we’ll be hosting an Open House around Thanksgiving of this year), and
2. SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) building systems (a specialty building method for energy-efficient homes).

We were glad to be a part of this year’s tour, and will be back next year. Thanks to everyone who came, and a special thanks to Cliff Kotnik, Cathy Crawley and the very friendly UCCS staff and SECRES volunteers. You were great to work with!

Below are some photos of our booth:

This was our table. We had our Fox21 News clip on a loop, and had a sign up sheet for our Open House this Fall.
