Living Building Challenge

The Living Building Challenge is a rigorous green building certification program that encourages structures to operate like natural ecosystems. It sets high standards across seven "petals": place, water, energy, health and happiness, materials, equity, and beauty. Buildings must be energy-positive, use renewable resources, and ensure healthy environments for occupants. This program promotes sustainability, efficiency, and social responsibility, pushing designers and builders to create buildings that have a positive impact on their surroundings. Ultimately, it aims for a regenerative approach to architecture that enhances both the environment and community well-being.
