Imagine a building that functions like a flower — rooted in place, wasting nothing, harming no one, and ultimately, giving more to its surroundings than it takes. At Living Future®, we call this a Living Building®. Like flowers, Living Buildings are more than sustainable — they're regenerative. And though undoubtedly aspirational, they're more than mere ambition. Today, certified Living Buildings can be found in diverse climates and contexts all over the world.

This course will introduce you to the latest version of Living Future's flagship program, the Living Building Challenge® 4.1. You'll explore the program's purpose, structure, and requirements, and learn what sets it apart from the many other green building certifications available today.
