What would Oklahoma’s most sustainable, energy efficient home look like?

Imagine this… 185 feet of 1880's hand-hewn wood beams, Amish-crafted cabinets, 2,500 square feet reclaimed hardwood floors, a 20-foot vertical wall garden and countertops made from 6,000 pounds of recycled glass. And the added fun bonus? How about the original back and front bar from O’Connell’s Irish Pub & Grille in Norman?

OG&E wants to show you the real deal right here in Oklahoma City. Come visit this unique and educational home during the Eco-Tech Home Tour April 8-17.

The home, located at 17515 Prairie Sky Way in Oklahoma City’s Rose Creek addition, boasts many Positive Energy® features from OG&E as well as the latest in new home technology.

Additional Eco-Tech Home features include:

• Exterior walls made of 10-inch concrete
• ClimateMaster geothermal heating and cooling
• 30,000 gallon rain harvesting system
• 8,000 feet of Ethernet cabling to "automate" the home

Tickets to the Eco-Tech Home Tour are $9 and may be purchased at any metro area Westlake Ace Hardware stores or online at www.ecotechhometour.com.  All of the proceeds from the tour will go toward efforts to improve community literacy.
