LEED to recognize Living Building Challenge energy and water requirements
The U.S. Green Building Council will now recognize energy and water requirements from the Living Building Challenge green building system within the LEED green building program.
“USGBC and the International Living Future Institute, developers of the Living Building Challenge, share a common commitment and goal to transform the way we design, build, and operate our buildings,” said Scot Horst, chief product officer for USGBC. “The Challenge plays an important role on the green building performance curve and is a complement to LEED.”
