SITE SHEET
This section is where you describe the features of your home/building and tell us why you built your home the way you did. Note that this is not all about solar technologies. We are interested in any energy efficient technologies or sustainable practices that you are demonstrating in your home or building. We strongly encourage you to review site sheets from previous years to get an idea of the features we are looking for.
Edit the next two pages with info on your home and return with 3 to 5 (separate) pictures. Please do not insert pictures but send them separately. If you had a site sheet from a previous year you do not need to send me a new one, I will forward your previous sheet for edits.

Appendix A
Owner’s agreement:
I understand that by applying to the Eco Solar Home Tour that I will be hosting an open house on the agreed date and that I am responsible for the conduct of the tour at my house/building on tour day. The Eco Solar Home Tour Society will promote my open house using the information that I provide. The Eco Solar Home Tour Society has my permission to publish my address and representative pictures of my house/building on their web site and in other media to promote the tour. I agree that the Eco Solar Home Tour Society may take pictures of my house/building and the people on my property for the purposes of promoting the tour. I understand that the Eco Solar Home Tour Society will attempt to provide volunteers if available but that the ultimate responsibility for conducting my open house is mine. Information tables staffed by suppliers involved in building the house/building are encouraged but direct sales of goods or services are not permitted. The Eco Solar Home Tour attempts to provide a positive showcase of energy efficient technologies; I understand that badmouthing or cutting down of competitive technologies or companies is against tour policy; if I am not in favour of a particular competitive technology then I will hold my comments and let others describe that technology. I agree that promotional materials such as signs, flags, and other reusable items provided by the Eco Solar Home Tour Society need to be returned promptly after the tour. I have suitable insurance in place that will provide coverage in the event of injury for the people that visit my open house.
I agree with these comments as the homeowner. owner’s email:
