Editor's Notes
- Silent spring
- Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Living Building Challenge, a program of the International Living Future Institute that was publicly launched in November 2006. It is the most stringent and complete sustainable building philosophy and standard in the world.
- The core framework of the Challenge is its arrangement into seven primary categories, known as Petals, drawing further from the metaphor of the flower. Those of you knowledgeable about green building see some familiar topics, like energy or materials. But the LBC aims to be as holistic as possible, addressing things like happiness, equity, and beauty. These petals interact with one another, as I will highlight over the course of the presentation.
- Each petal is then broken into sub-petals, which are known as Imperatives. These Imperatives address specific topics related to each Petal, and they also set forth specific requirements for each Petal. We will discuss each Imperative briefly today.
- Finally, there are three different levels of certification. Full Living Building Challenge Certification means a project has achieved every applicable Imperative of the Living Building Challenge. These buildings are at the absolute pinnacle of sustainable building in the world. Petal Certification is a project that has achieved at least three Petals, including one of the three core Petals—Water, Energy, or Materials—as well as Imperative One, Limits to Growth, and Imperative 20, Inspiration and Education. The Limits to Growth Imperative is required because we don’t want development in any case to occur in inappropriate areas. Inspiration and Education is also required because we want each project to be a catalyst within its own physical and functional community. Within their areas of focus, Petal-certified projects represent the highest levels of achievement internationally. Net Zero Energy Building Certification recognizes the crucial priority of addressing the carbonization of the atmosphere and oceans. These projects achieve the core Net Positive Energy Imperative, as well as a handful of relevant Imperatives drawn from the Standard that support the Living Building Challenge mission.
- Let’s look at how the JUST Program works in practice.For each of our social justice and equity indicators, the organization will assess their policies and data and select a corresponding rating of zero, one, two or three stars. One way of way of looking at the rating system is to equate one star for “good,” two stars for “better,” three stars for “best.”
