Overview
The Living Building Challenge workshop previews the Philosophy, Advocacy, Guidance, and Tools that the International Living Future Institute offers in its Certification program and support. The Living Building Challenge engages the broader building industry in the deep conversations required to truly understand how to solve problems rather than shift them. This six-hour workshop will showcase these features along with core concepts needed to develop a working understanding of the certification program.
