From Austin Energy Green Building –

The Cool House Tour is an annual self-guided tour produced by Austin Energy Green Building and Texas Solar Energy Society. The tour showcases homes that are designed and built to high standards of energy efficiency, comfort and regional design. This signature event is a resource for learning how to live comfortably in the hot Central Texas climate. Homeowners and building professionals will be available to share their experience with you on bringing these sustainable homes to fruition.

This year we present eight homes, two communities and an Austin Energy open house showcasing energy saving programs to help you create your own cool house. The selected projects cover a wealth of styles and sizes. Pick up your guidebook ticket early at Treehouse or Zinger Hardware to read more about green building features and map your day in advance. You can also purchase guidebooks online. Visit the homes in any order you wish. Enjoy the tour and thank you for caring about energy use, its personal and social costs and the importance of sustainable development.
