Solar House Tours
October 2 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Welcome to The Engineering Place at NC State Solar House!
Are you ready to embark on a journey toward a sustainable future? Are you curious about renewable energy and its tremendous potential? Our focus at the Solar House is to provide opportunities for the public to learn about reusable and sustainable energy by hosting tour groups and providing K-12 engineering programs focused on renewable energy.
To celebrate NC State Energy Week, we are offering guided tours of the solar house, exploring its innovative design and discussing the various sustainable features incorporated into the building. Join us and witness firsthand how solar panels, passive heating and cooling systems, and energy-efficient appliances work together to create an environmentally friendly living space.
Tours will start every hour, on the hour from 9 am to 3 pm. No registration is required.
We look forward to you joining us at the Solar House and learning more about how engineers are involved in renewable energy!
