Announcement Text:

Living Building Challenge has swept North America. There are now more than sixty registered projects from coast to coast pursing certification under this vigorous performance standard and interest continues to rise. This full day workshop, held in more than 30 cities across the US and Canada, will share the tenets of the Living Building Challenge, highlight resources and design strategies, and address the various perceived barriers and incentives related to high performance design.

Workshop attendees are entitled to a one-year membership into the Living Building Community. This on-line resource offers direct engagement with professionals currently working on Living Building Challenge projects, as well as the authors of the performance standard. Community members have access to the User's Guide, which includes the technical information and documentation requirements necessary to strive towards certification.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key components of the Living Building Challenge
• Describe the Living Building Challenge community resources and certification process
• Discuss the rationale for restorative design principles
• Understand successful strategies for compliance with each performance area (Site, Water, Energy, Health, Materials, Equity, and Beauty)
• Recognize financial, regulatory and behavioral barriers and incentives related to high performance design
