Green Homes Tour Friday, Dec. 5th

This Friday, Dec. 5th is an excellent opportunity to tour some of the area's greener homes.  

I'll be joining Michael "Fletch" Fletcher in hosting a "pre-drywall" open house of his LEEDing Edge Project at 546 Edgewood Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward. This home will be one of Atlanta's first LEED Platinum certified residential offerings when completed in December. Come see what makes a home qualify for this newest and highest standard in green building. Fletch, a LEED AP Architect, will be on site from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. for a peek behind the curtain of green construction and sustainable design.

Free coffee and cocoa will be served, courtesy of Danneman's. If you're deep green feel free to bring your favorite Christmas coffee cup or travel mug.

You can learn more about LEEDing Edge from these previous posts:

Then scoot on over to Decatur for a tour of some of their greener residences. "Living Green" is the theme of their 2008 Candlelight Tour of Homes. Starting at 5:00 p.m., take the free Cliff shuttle from home to home and to several other points of interest. This year’s tour focuses on eight homes renovated in eco-friendly ways, using green materials and techniques to minimize their impact on the Earth. 

Even the transportation for the tour is green: Cliff Shuttles are a transportation alternative for Emory students. The shuttles run on B20 biodiesel, a fuel created with cooking oil recycled from Emory dining services and other area restaurants.

Do you have any other green real estate for sale in the area? I get requests about once a month for affordable green houses. Can you post them on your site?
