The Living Building Challenge is coming to Los Angeles!
Please join local sustainability leaders for a special event celebrating the growth of the Living Building Challenge Collaborative in Los Angeles.
The Institute’s Brad Liljequist and Rochelle Routman of Mohawk Group will be the keynote speakers.
Mohawk wholly embraces product transparency, as evidenced by its Declare Labels, HPDs, and EPDs that support the bulk of its commercial product line. Additionally, Mohawk is connecting and educating others about the Living Building Challenge through the Institute’s Ambassador Network and Living Building Challenge workshops throughout North America in 2014.

About the International Living Future Institute
The International Living Future Institute is a hub for visionary programs. They administer the Living Building Challenge™, the built environment’s most rigorous and ambitious performance standard. They are the parent organization for Cascadia Green Building Council, a chapter of both the United States and Canada Green Building Councils that serves Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. They are also home to Ecotone Publishing, a unique publishing house dedicated to telling the story of the green building movement’s pioneering thinkers and practitioners.
The Institute offers green building and infrastructure solutions that move across scales (from single room renovations to neighborhoods or whole cities). They offer global strategies for lasting sustainability, partnering with local communities to create grounded and relevant solutions, and reaching out to individuals to unleash their imagination and innovation.
Through our work on the Living Building Challenge and other programs, they have helped to redefine the green building movement, substantially raising the bar for true sustainability. By embracing the psychology of the endgame, they strive to identify the most direct path to a future in which all life can thrive. They seek partnerships with leaders in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors in pursuit of a future that is socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative.
