“For a LEED house, you pretty much have to gut everything and take it back down to where it’s like building a new house. It can mean a $500,000 project on a $300,000 house,” said Ben Lutzeier , owner of Old School. “With (NAHB), it’s more accessible, people can afford it, but it still makes a big difference.”

Riverview House, a three bedroom mid-Century Ann Arbor brick ranch sitting on a hill overlooking Huron River Drive and a bend in the Huron River, will be open to the public for an under-construction Visible Green House tour Feb. 4 and 5. Advanced registration is required.

While the project won’t be completed until April or May, Klement said he wants the public to see green construction unfolding in real time. “It helps people understand that green begins in the design phase,” he said. Past under-construction tours of house remodel projects have attracted up to 400 people, Klement said.
