The tour will start from 2:00 pm and last about two hours, followed by a 30-minute video entitled "Killowatt Ours." We will have an opportunity to explore the FSEC building, one of the most energy-efficient commercial buildings in the world. Tour guides will point out some of the features that can be adopted by homeowners and businesses to make their buildings more energy efficient.

Tours will include an insider's view of the wide range of research projects conducted at FSEC on hydrogen and fuel cells, buildings and energy efficiencies, the environment, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy and alternative transportation systems.

“As the global community grows, so does the need for energy. With the peak production of oil approaching, new and innovative energy solutions will be needed. See how our research and development is leading the way.”   --FSEC
