What if every single act of design and construction made the world a better place?

The Living Building Challenge™ (LBC) is the world’s most rigorous proven performance standard for buildings. People from around the world—including Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand—use this regenerative design framework to create spaces that operate as cleanly, beautifully, and efficiently as nature’s architecture.

These webinars provide an overview of the LBC philosophy and program, as well as the components that make it the go-to tool for regenerative design. We’ll also discuss how the LBC can solve problems using a framework based on proven performance rather than paper-based predictions.

We will focus on the latest version of the standard (LBC 4.1), and discuss how Australian and New Zealand projects can maximise positive impacts to place, community, and culture. We will share case studies, and provide opportunities for interactive discussions and Q&As.

This webinar is ideal for built environment professionals looking for an introduction (or refresher) in regenerative design.

Please note that webinars will not be recorded.
