A look at one of the 'greenest' buildings in the country...

The Omega Center for Sustainable Living is one of the  first projects slated to receive designation as a ‘Living Building’,  based on standards developed by the International Living Building Institute. 

The Living Building Challenge program differentiates itself from other  certification systems with a performance-based approach, as opposed to a  prescriptive one, meaning specific design strategies and elements  aren’t necessarily required for certification.  Instead, creativity and  collaboration are encouraged in order to meet stringent performance  standards.
