Utah’s First Living Buildings
Community Rebuilds recently took on the Living Building Challenge (LBC) for a four-home subdivision in Moab, Utah – the 808 Millcreek Project. Homeowners have moved into two of the homes while the remaining two homes have just begun construction. Come to this session to learn how the LBC has impacted this organization’s already high-performance practices and which parts of the LBC have proven to be the most, well, challenging! Designer, builder, and operator perspectives will be provided.
