Early October Events

I'm still working on logistics for a Social Hour event later this month, but wanted to go ahead and post some info on a couple of interesting events happening in the next several days.

Let's start with the 2008 Illinois Solar Tour by the Illinois Solar Energy Association. This tour will include opportunities to see and view more than 100 wind and solar powered buildings within Chicago and the suburban area as well as across the state of Illinois. The date is this Saturday, October 4th. For more info, check out: http://www.illinoissolar.org/solartour/images/stories/tour/SolarTour08.pdf

A second event is the West Suburban Green Trolley Tour by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). This event will include tours of three suburban green buildings:

Wight & Company's office
Lyman Woods Interpretive Center
Argonne National Laboratories Central Supply Facility addition

The tour is happening on Tues., October 7th and will convene at the Jewel-Osco on South Cass in Darien. You can find full details on the USGBC website:
