The second of four construction tours showcasing a variety of green building features will take place this coming Saturday, April 5th at 10am. The homeowners, Brian and Joan Day, and the owner of Upstream Construction, Terry Herndon, will be on hand to answer questions about the project. The home is being built to attain three green building certifications: LEED for Homes, EarthCraft and EnergyStar.

Tour #2 will focus on the installation of utilities in Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) walls and advanced insulation techniques, such as BioBased Soy Spray Foam applied under the roof.
