The Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council congratulates Heirloom Design Build for winning a Gold OBIE in the Best Green Home – 2,000+ Square Foot category for its Inman Park Neighborhood in Atlanta. The OBIE awards are the premier awards in the new home construction industry.

This home is a terrific example of a successful EarthCraft House project. By focusing on select High Performance (HP) design, the building improved and allowed to maximize the efficiency without overwhelming the budget. Some highlights include the home having open and closed cell insulation in all of the walls and roofline, a 23 SEER heat pump and a 27 SEER mini-split HVAC system with MERV 17 filtration for hospital air quality and UV lights for 99.9 percent virus free living. All of this was achieved while the home stayed feeling as if it was from the 1800s.
