Sustainable Marblehead will host its third annual Green Homes Tour on Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering a self-guided look inside nine local homes that showcase energy-efficient upgrades ranging from insulation and high-performance windows to heat pumps and solar panels. Five properties are new to the tour and four are returning.
Trained volunteer Energy Coaches will be stationed at each home to answer questions and help visitors think through their own improvement plans. Complimentary one-on-one follow-up consultations are also available.
"There's no one-size-fits-all solution," said Elaine Leahy, executive director of Sustainable Marblehead. "What this tour shows is that every home can take meaningful steps toward greater efficiency and lower emissions — and those steps add up."
Lisa Wolf, volunteer Energy Coach program coordinator, said the coaches help homeowners figure out where to start and map out a plan that works over time.
"Most people don't need to do everything at once," Wolf said. "Seeing what your neighbors have done makes those first steps feel much more doable."
Tickets are $10 per person with advance registration required. Registered participants will receive a map and details for all tour locations.
