This two-hour webinar introduces the Living Building Challenge certification program created in 2006 by the non-profit International Living Future Institute. The Living Building Challenge goes beyond trying to reduce the built environment’s footprint, but instead helps heal and regenerate the environment while considering social equity. This webinar will discuss the requirements of projects at all scales, including how to produce more clean water and more clean energy than is used, and to send less waste to the landfill than the amount of salvaged material used in the building. The webinar will highlight case studies of certified buildings that successfully demonstrate both program requirements and the philosophy of the Living Building Challenge.
