The #1920sMakeoverATL Virtual Pre-Construction Show House Tour has launched! - Rate It Green's May News
Posted on: 05/25/2021
Friends and Community Members -
This month, green building meets virtual reality! We are excited to share the first of THREE Virtual Reality Tours for the #1920sMakeoverATL whole house deep energy retrofit project - LIVE NOW! Matt Hoots of Sawhorse, Inc, and our Project Partners will be gutting this charming 1920s home in Ansley Park, Atlanta down to the studs and then rebuilding it back with a goal to make this the most energy-efficient house in the zip code! The team will share their progress though videos, blog posts, product profiles, and more, all included on virtual reality tours you can watch from the comfort of your office, or living room.
This first virtual reality tour provides a self-guided pre-construction look at the home, where you can "walk" through at your own pace and hear from our project partners about existing conditions and plans, as well as their sustainable product and materials selections. Browse by floor, or even choose the drone option to check the house out from 400 feet in the air, along with a beautiful view of midtown Atlanta! Just launched, the tour will keep growing! Current topics include air filtration, radon and vapor control layers, blower door testing, asbestos testing, and going electric for heating and hot water systems,
