The Living Building Challenge
The goal of the Living Building Challenge is to create buildings that generate more energy than they use, capture and treat all water on site, and use healthy materials. It’s the world’s most ambitious, advanced, and holistic performance standard for green, resilient, and healthy buildings. Learn more about the LBC.

They put their values into the buildings design by rising to the Living Building Challenge. GAF brought the expertise, products and resources to help make it happen. When complete, the center will be one of the most sustainable buildings in the world, 1 of only 31 to meet accreditation of the LBC.
