According to the press release:

Several vendors will be present to discuss the products used in this LEED® registered home, including the manufacturer of the geothermal system, the solar tube lighting, and the whole house ventilation system. Energy efficient lighting, insulation, and a unique hot water system selected to minimize water waste are also on the agenda....

"Lots of people say they are interested in green building. This is a chance for builders to come face to face with suppliers in a unique home setting and talk about things like cost, comfort, and practicality. And they can talk to us – the owners! Our goal throughout this project was to be candid about what worked and what did not. We want builders to learn from our mistakes!” said Trish Holder.
