The International Living Future Institute, steward of the world’s most demanding sustainable-building program, is no longer satisfied with its boutique status as a third-party certifier of super-green buildings. ILFI, on a course to scale up the number of participants and scale down the rigors of its Living Building Challenge, recently introduced a less rigorous option for LBC certification, called Core Green Building Certification.
ILFI also announced the first participants, including Salesforce, in a new ILFI program for zero-energy and zero-carbon certification that targets real-estate portfolios rather than individual buildings.
