Education

Imagine a building designed and constructed to function as elegantly and efficiently as a flower. Imagine a building informed by its ecoregion’s characteristics, and that generates all of its own energy with renewable resources, captures and treats all of its water, and operates efficiently and for maximum beauty.

Now imagine an industry ready to design and construct Living Buildings!

Creating Living Buildings and Living Communities requires a fundamentally different approach to building design, construction and operations.  The ILBI is dedicated to transforming the education of all sectors of the building industry and offers  several ways for you to differentiate yourself in the rapidly advancing green building marketplace – whether you are looking for opportunities to intensify your knowledge of deep-green building principles and practices, or want to share your enthusiasm about the Living Building Challenge with others.
