THE WOLF RIDGE LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE

MEETING THE HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS IN BUILDING

 
 

WHAT IS A LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE?

The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, advocacy tool and certification program created in 2006. It is the most ecologically sound and rigorous building certification, comprising of seven performance areas: site, water, energy, health, materials, equity and beauty. The Living Building Challenge at Wolf Ridge ELC will be the first in the region, and the northernmost in the country to attempt full LBC certification.

WHAT ADDITIONAL EDUCATION DOES THIS PROVIDE?

Beauty inspires people to connect and to take care. The Margaret A. Cargill Lodge will serve as a teaching tool in constructing sustainable buildings and ongoing conservation efforts. This will have a National impact for visitors staying at Wolf Ridge from all across the country.

CONSERVATION & SUSTAINABILITY

The Living Building Challenge is not just about creating the building. It is about Living in the building and Challenging yourself to be more responsible with nature. Utilizing technologies built into every room, visitors will be able to monitor personal energy and water consumption to become better informed stewards of the earth. Our goal at Wolf Ridge is to make a lasting impression on all of our visitors and inspire global citizens to create change.
