Sacramento is leading the way !
Attend this panel discussion to learn more about these two incredible groundbreaking projects and about the aspirational Living Building Challenge , a program that sets bold yet achievable goals that provide impactful and much-needed outcomes for our environment and the climate .
Panelists include Greg Taylor , AIA , Sacramento Valley Station Project Manager ; Bruce Monighan , AIA , Urban Design Manager with the City of Sacramento ; Patty Karapinar , AIA , LEED- AP BD + C , WELL-AP ; Brian Cassil of Arch Nexus ; and Kathleen Ave , Senior Climate Program Manager , SMUD among others . The Living Building Challenge™ is a building certification program , advocacy tool and philosophy that defines the most advanced measure of sustainability in the built environment possible today and acts to rapidly diminish the gap between current limits and the end-game positive solutions we need to address . The Challenge is comprised of seven performance categories called Petals : Place , Water , Energy , Health & Happiness , Materials , Equity and Beauty . Petals are subdivided into a total of twenty Imperatives , each of which focuses on a specific sphere of influence . This compilation of Imperatives can be applied to almost every conceivable building project , of any scale and any location — be it a new building or an existing structure .
