Living Building Challenge comes to the EcoCenter
On August 30, the Living Building Challenge hosted a 6-hour long workshop at the EcoCenter on an in-depth introduction on the philosophy and rationale of the building certification and strategies to obtain it. Attendees included the green building leaders in their community: design professionals, contractors, developers, owners, government officials and employees of public agencies. Thank you to the International Living Future Institute (parent organization of the LBC) for choosing to rent and support the EcoCenter!
