Voices for Change: Leveraging Various Certifications for Regenerative Design
While certifications are crucial to pushing the limits of sustainable construction, validating investments, and providing quality assurance, they sometimes risk a narrowed viewpoint, shifting priorities towards meeting a prescribed matrix and away from big picture values better benefitting building occupants and the environment. This presentation showcases individual projects and lessons learned from pursuing single and multiple certifications (LEED, Living Building Challenge, Passive House and WELL), and how they can be leveraged to create truly regenerative buildings. A group of women architects from different backgrounds will analyze individual certification standards to advocate for a more holistic and collaborative way of thinking.
