This document contains a presentation on building design and sustainability. It discusses the Living Building Challenge, which outlines prerequisites for sustainable site design, energy use, materials selection, water use, indoor environment, and other factors. Case studies are presented on projects that meet the Living Building Challenge, including the Oregon Sustainability Center. Key findings from a financial study of Living Building projects indicate that climate, energy costs, water costs, building use, and scale all significantly impact costs and payback periods. Incentives and policy support can help make high-performance green building more cost effective.
