Green construction: holistic concepts for sustainable building in the U.S.
LBC is the world’s most rigorous green-building certification standard and for a building to meet the criteria, its design must holistically address all seven “petals” of the program: place, water, energy, health, beauty, materials, and equity.
The result is a regenerative building that is self-sufficient and draws only on resources (water, sun, and wind) located on-site. Additionally, it contains no harmful materials. The design must connect light, air, food, nature, and community and be completely harmonious with the natural environment.
