Parksite Donates EcoTop to the Department of Energy Living Zero Home Tour

EcoTop, the newest and most sustainable addition to our portfolio of surfacing options, piqued the interest of Coachmen Industries. A publically held company known for RV’s, Coachmen also has an All American Homes division that focuses on single family modular homes. Parksite was asked to participate in All American’s showcase home being developed for The Department of Energy’s(DOE) Living Zero Home Tour to feature EcoTop in the kitchen.

This multiple-stop tour will promote energy efficiency and green living. Stops include Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico and California. All American Homes’ project will be showcased in each of these locations, as well as featured on NBC’s Today Show in mid-August. Remote broadcasts from the All American Homes Booth at Greenbuild Phoenix and a NASCAR event are scheduled as well.

“The Living Zero tour is all about how people can save energy everyday by living smart and updating their homes with more efficient systems,” reports Coachman Industries.

Parksite has donated three slabs of Jet Black EcoTop. Parksite’s logo will be featured prominently in each tour location. Other sponsors include: General Electric, The Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, Wyndam Hotels, and State Water Heaters. This tour is one of the largest promotional events sponsored by the Department of Energy and we are honored to have been chosen to participate in this event!
