An address of a Parade entry is not showing up in my GPS. What do I do?

Many of these communities are new and may not work with GPS systems. Each entry includes written directions to the home which can be found on the website, mobile app and digital magazine. Also look for the High Performance Home Tour directional signs!

Is there a print magazine?

No, we no longer do a printed magazine. But we will have a digital magazine available on this website the first week of April!

What are some tips to make my experience as pleasurable as possible?

Wear comfortable shoes that slip on and off easily as many homes request you remove shoes before entering. Some homes may provide complimentary refreshments, but pack snacks and water in case you need.

Will all homes be completed?

Many homes will be completed but others may be in various stages of construction. This enables visitors to see the green features of the home that are “behind the walls” and learn more about the green building process. All homes will be far enough along that they are safe to enter and tour.
