SUMMARY:Backyard Uprising: How ADUs enhance our urban landscape
DESCRIPTION:This is the sixth of seven panel discussions exploring topics related to and sites on the 2020 Green Tour. Visit the full schedule here. \nAccessory Dwelling Units are popping all over Bend–here’s our take on why they are important and how you can get started.\nREGISTER HERE\n\nWe have a housing problem in Central Oregon. We don’t have enough of it and we need more affordable options. Infill development poses the opportunity to flip this narrative and create a more livable community with housing choices that meet the needs of more members of our community. One example that we see popping up in backyards and above garages–Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).\n\nDuring this panel\, we’ll hear from those who are fueling this uprising in a backyard near you\, including the experts who are developing and designing properties with ADUs and some homeowners who are bringing these projects to life.\n\nMeet our panelists \n\n\nMary Hearn\, ADU Enthusiast & Advocate\n\n\nJesse Russell\, Hiatus Homes\n\n\nJamie Harbick\, Homeowner\n\n\nRobb Kerley\, Lasting Traditions\n\n\nRyan Lentz\, Homeowner\n\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Energy Trust of Oregon with additional support from E2 Solar\, Miller Lumber\, Saginaw Sunset\, Stemach Design + Architecture\, and Earth Advantage. \n\nSoon you will be able to view virtual tours of the official Green Tour sites! See behind the scenes of the green building process and meet local innovators. All tours\, interviews\, and photos will be posted on The Environmental Center’s website.

SUMMARY:Attainable and Sustainable Housing: Featuring Kor Community Land Trust
DESCRIPTION:This is  the fourth of seven panel discussions exploring topics related to and sites on the 2020 Green Tour. Visit the full schedule here. \nGet the scoop on how and why this affordable housing organization is building zero energy homes. If they can do it—can you?\nREGISTER HERE\nKôr Community Land Trust was founded in 2015 to address the need for attainable homeownership in Bend. Many hard-working members of our community\, such as those who work in our schools and grocery stores\, cannot afford to purchase a home and put down roots here. Kôr provides permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for these important community members and their families.\n\nKôr’s homes will be built to minimize energy and water use. This is sustainable from both an environmental perspective AND a financial one by keeping utility bills low for the homeowner. At Kor’s first development\, Kôrazon\, they are developing zero energy homes–that is\, homes that produce as much energy as they use–with no utility bills. \n\nWhy zero energy? Because it means their families can reliably count on stable housing costs\, even as utility costs continue to increase. Because it means healthier indoor air quality. And because the homes will be more durable and need fewer repairs over the life of the home. Spoiler alert–zero energy homes might just be the missing link to creating more affordable housing for our entire community!\n\nJoin us to hear from Kor’s team including their designer\, home performance consultant\, solar contractor\, and envelope specialist to see how they are cost effectively getting to zero energy and how reaching this goal has the potential to change the lives of the families living in their homes.\n\nMeet our panelists \n\nAmy Warren\, Executive Director and Co-Founder\, Kor Community Land Trust\n\n\nBruce Sullivan\, BASE zero \n\n\nJason Offut\, The Shelter Studio & Co-Found\, Kor Community Land Trust\n\n\nJoe Mazzarella\, System Design\, Sunlight Solar\n\n\nPeter Grube\, Partner\, Northwest Aerobarrier\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Energy Trust of Oregon with additional support from E2 Solar\, Miller Lumber\, Saginaw Sunset\, Stemach Design + Architecture\, and Earth Advantage.
