The Living Building Challenge is coming soon to a city near you!
WHY?
Living Building Challenge has swept North America. There are now more than sixty registered projects from coast to coast pursuing certification under this rigorous performance standard and interest continues to rise. In response to frequent requests for introductory presentations, we have decided to hit the road and create an opportunity to share the tenets of the program with advanced practitioners in the United States and Canada.
WHO?
You! Attendees will be leaders in their community: design professionals, contractors, building owners, government officials and employees of public agencies. In short, anyone and everyone who can impact the development of the built environment.
OUR EXPERT FACULTY
