LEEDing Edge open house info sheets
We saw an outstanding turn-out for the Dec. 5th Open House. Dozens of folks braved the chilly weather to tour 546 Edgewood Avenue and learn more about what constitutes a LEED Platinum home. Of particular interest to everyone was the rainwater catchment system. The components were very visible in the home's pre-drywall state, so you could see how the water will be funneled from the roof to the 600 gallon cistern on the ground floor. This system will reduce water consumption by 82%. This is a compelling feature given that we continue to languish in a Stage 4 drought and that water shortages are predicted to loom larger as Atlanta grows.
Architect/Builder Michael Fletcher led guided tours and answered questions. In addition, he posted information sheets at all the points-of-interest providing guests with a crash course in what makes this home a landmark in green residential construction. So I've posted that information in the above Google Presentation for your viewing pleasure from the comfort of your own home. We've also compiled the info sheets into a PowerPoint presentation that you can download here.

It was actually after learning about how Leeds is transforming an industry did I think of Green Students Fundraising - a green transformation of the fundraising industry!
