The Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Association (MAREA) will host a Sustainable Living Open House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 5, throughout Berks, Bucks, Chester, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties. The open house is a self-guided tour whereby participating hosts open their homes to showcase their sustainable features so that others may see and learn from their experience. Using the detailed descriptions and directions for all participating homes on the MAREA website, anyone can visit any home on the list. 

This year’s open house includes homes with solar installations, energy efficiency upgrades, rainwater recycling, electric vehicles and other sustainable living features. The educational event provides an opportunity to see sustainable features in action and talk with homeowners who have firsthand experience. 

Admission is free. No reservations are required. To view the listing of homes, visit TheMAREA.org. For more information, call 484-646-3295 or email SolarTour@TheMAREA.
