Sustainable By Design,Living Building Challenge

For today's guest blog post at Inspired Design Daily, we're taking a look at one of the 'greenest' buildings in the country.  The Omega Center for Sustainable Living is one of the first projects slated to receive designation as a ‘Living Building’, based on standards developed by the International Living Building Institute

The Living Building Challenge program differentiates itself from other certification systems with a performance-based approach, as opposed to a prescriptive one, meaning specific design strategies and elements aren’t necessarily required for certification.  Instead, creativity and collaboration are encouraged in order to meet stringent performance standards.

To learn more about this unique new project that coexists harmoniously with natural ecological systems, make sure to visit Inspired Design Daily and read the complete post.  Thanks!
