### What if every single act of design and construction made the world a better place?

The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, advocacy tool, and certification program defining today’s most advanced measure of sustainability in the built environment. It addresses all buildings at all scales and is an inclusive tool for transformative design. Whether the project is a single building, a renovation, an infrastructure project, or a park, the Living Building Challenge provides a framework for designing, constructing, and improving the symbiotic relationships between people and all aspects of the built and natural environments.

**NOTE: ILFI launched LBC 4.1 on April 4, 2024.** **Looking for the 4.0 Standard and Handbook? [Click here](https://living-future.org/lbc/resources/#previousVersions).**

#### What does good look like?

Living Buildings are:

- Regenerative buildings that connect occupants to light, air, food, nature, and community.
- Self-sufficient and remain within the resource limits of their site.
- Create a positive impact on the human and natural systems that interact with them.
