Ten Years in One of the World's Greenest Buildings
Included in subscription
Description
The Center for Sustainable Landscapes (CSL) opened in December 2012. It remains the only building to achieve seven of the highest green building certifications: the Living Building Challenge, WELL Platinum (first), SITES Platinum (first), LEED Platinum, BREAAM Outstanding In-Use (first in the United States), Fitwel 3 Star, and Zero Energy certifications. After 10 years of occupying, operating, and refining this unique facility, Phipps and the design team have developed a wealth of knowledge to share with designers, builders, and owners. This presentation will explore what was learned about design process, biophilic design, performance, occupant engagement, and ongoing evaluation.
