BuildingEnergy Pro Tour

This September, NESEA invites you to join us for a tour of two recently completed multifamily buildings in South Portland, both built to PHIUS standards. Together, these side-by-side buildings provide the community with 95 units of high performance affordable housing. Not only will this event showcase the design and construction of the buildings and their systems, we will also learn about their place in the larger context of the Mercy Hospital Campus Redevelopment project and the surrounding neighborhood.

On June 13, NESEA will be organizing a tour of a new single family home, still under construction and being built to Passive House standards. Attendees at this early summer event will learn the story of this project, nestled away in Bethany, CT. The event hosts hope to showcase this residence, which will be net zero ready, as an example of a high-performance residence with minimal environmental impact.

Join NESEA for the first Pro Tour of 2025! We are thrilled to kick off the 2025 series with this May event, showcasing a formerly vacant commercial building that has been transformed into an all-electric, net zero co-warehousing facility.

Join NESEA for the final Pro Tour of 2024: a passive house-certified, 185,000 square-foot building, providing 160 units of much-needed affordable housing to the neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn.

You’re invited to a 2-site Pro Tour in Burlington, Vermont! Our hosts, New Frameworks, will be opening both their shop and a project so that attendees can see how their innovative, low-carbon modular projects come together, from factory floor to completed build.

In early November, NESEA will be offering our first Pro Tour in the Catskills, showcasing a new construction single-family passive house with its first years’ of performance data.

Join us for a Pro Tour of a recently renovated historic building in New Haven, CT! During this event, attendees will learn how the project team transformed this building, originally a hotel from 1816, into a Passive House-certified commercial space while preserving its historic facade and place in the community.
