This month's topic: Introduction to Living Buildings
The aim of the Living Building Challenge is to inspire the creation of true sustainability in the built environment.
Cascadia staff will give an introduction to the Challenge and a panel, composed of Living Building project teams, will showcase the projects that will be used to focus future Living Building User group discussions.
In the 5 subsequent sessions in 2009, panel discussions from the same project teams will explore approaches, challenges, and solutions for achieving the challenge based on these actual projects' pursuit of the challenge. Join us for an excellent networking and learning opportunity!
