The Living Building Challenge provides a framework for design, construction and the symbiotic relationship between people and all aspects of the built environment. It is a philosophy, advocacy tool and certification program comprised of seven performance areas: Site, Water, Energy, Health, Materials, Equity and Beauty. Since its launch in 2006, the US Green Building Council has fully endorsed the Living Building Challenge. Participants can qualify for AIA CEU: 1 Learning Unit (HSW or Sustainable Design) and GBCI: 1 CE Credit.
