Living Buildings Challenge

The Living Buildings Challenge (LBC) is a rigorous sustainability certification that sets high standards for environmentally responsible building design and operation. It aims for buildings to produce all their energy on-site, treat their water, minimize waste, and use healthy, non-toxic materials. The goal is to create structures that harmonize with the environment, improve occupant well-being, and operate sustainably over their entire lifespan. By meeting these challenging criteria, Living Buildings serve as models for a regenerative future, demonstrating how architecture can positively impact the planet and communities.
