The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, certification, and advocacy tool for projects to move beyond merely being less bad and to become truly regenerative.
The Living Building Challenge consists of seven performance categories, or “petals”: place, water, energy, health + happiness, materials, equity and beauty.
Each petal is subdivided into imperatives, for a total of 20 imperatives in the challenge. The imperatives can be applied to almost every conceivable building project, of any scale and any location—be it a new building or an existing structure.
Imagine a building that is as efficient as a flower: a simple symbol for the ideal built environment. The Living Building Challenge is organized into seven performance areas.
Restoring a healthy interrelationship with nature.
Creating developments that operate within the water balance of a given place and climate.
Relying only on current solar income.
Creating environments that optimize physical and psychological health and well-being.
Endorsing products that are safe for all species through time.
Supporting a just and equitable world.
Celebrating design that uplifts the human spirit.
