Become an AGENT OF HOPE
The Cascadia Region Green Building Council has just issued the Living Building Leader program directed at green building practitioners to outfit them with “the diverse, broad and deep skill set needed to create Living Buildings.” The Living Building Leader program works by engaging architects, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, green consultants and contractors to learn the tools and technical training necessary to achieve a Living Building status.
Living Buildings are achieved by following the six design prerequisites outlined by Cascadia’s Living Building Challenge. Professionals become certified Living Building Leaders by completing a series of ten on-line sessions concluded with a short exam. Although participants have up to three years to complete all seven Petals, it is expected that most professionals will complete the course in two years.
Session (Petal) categories include: Site, Energy, Water, Materials, Indoor Quality, Beauty+Inspiration and Process+Leadership. To reduce the program’s carbon footprint, the sessions are offered via a live, on-line interactive eLearning platform. Sessions will begin in June of 2008 and will cost $125 for Cascadia members and $150 for non-members.
