LETTER FROM THE CEO
Moving is an emotionally complex, yet fundamentally
important endeavor. Studies suggest it’s one of life’s
most stressful activities, but it’s also a critical time of
contemplation, excitement and transformation.
In early 2013, we packed up our Seattle office and
ventured to the Bullitt Center—the world’s greenest
commercial building and perhaps the most innovative
new building of the past 50 years. We weren’t simply
AS TENANTS OF THE FIRST
MULTI-STORY COMMERCIAL
BUILDING BUILT TO MEET ALL
IMPERATIVES OF THE LIVING
BUILDING CHALLENGE™, WE WERE
COMPELLED TO CONSIDER THE
HEALTH ATTRIBUTES OF OUR
FURNITURE, ALONG WITH THE
ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY
OF OUR ELECTRONICS AND
APPLIANCES.
moving from one office building to another. We were
entering a living laboratory, a bold prototype for
truly restorative design and construction, and a living
manifestation of what we’ve been preaching for many
years now.
As tenants of the first multi-story commercial building
built to meet all Imperatives of the Living Building
Challenge™, we were compelled to consider the health
attributes of our furniture, along with the energy and
water efficiency of our electronics and appliances. Our
4
staff began to map out bike routes and public transit
options for their new, car-free commutes.
Our move also served as a milestone for our organization
and our broader movement. It is clear that the Institute has
reached an inflection point in our work—Living Buildings
are no longer mostly theory—they are proving more real
by the day as more and more people build and move into
facilities like ours. This reality spurs us to keep raising the
bar, and so in 2013 we began work on the next version of
the LBC.
We also took stock of our progress toward our
mission to create a future that is not only ecologically
restorative—but one that is socially just and works for
all segments of society. Green building to date has done
a poor job of addressing issues of equity and social
justice—we believed it was time to put a real focus on
these issues. As a result, in the fall of 2013 we launched
JUST™, a pioneering platform for organizations to share
information about how their employees are treated
and how their money is invested. Companies across
multiple sectors found JUST to be a powerful tool for
demonstrating their commitment to workplace equity
and social justice, while also providing a valuable
measuring stick for their performance in these areas.
In 2013 the first ‘JUST’ companies emerged, including a
bank, engineering and architecture firms—and of course
our own organization. We believe that JUST has a big role
to play in defining our movement in the coming years.
Meanwhile, Living Building Challenge projects around
the world took momentous steps from design to
construction. Where we once featured renderings in our
educational materials, in 2013 we had enough built work
to begin sharing photos of beautiful, inspiring buildings
in communities ranging from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to
Wollongong, Australia. Each project that broke ground
helped capture the imaginations of local manufacturers,
builders, academics and entire communities. Combined
with the efforts of intrepid volunteers in our Ambassador
Network, these projects helped introduce the Living
Building Challenge to new and exciting markets, including
India and China.
In addition to Living Building Challenge projects, 2013
marked a dramatic uptick in the number of project teams
that set their sights on our Net Zero Energy Building
Certification. Given recent advances in efficiency, it
came as little surprise that more project teams than
ever were interested and both achieving and verifying
AS A MOVEMENT, WE’RE NOT
SETTLING IN. OUR WORK IS
JUST BEGINNING.
net zero energy performance. Recognizing that energy
demands were reaching a global tipping point, we
began organizing Net Positive, an inaugural conference
focused on holistic net zero energy and water strategies.
Net Positive also marked the first time we held a major
event outside the Cascadia region, in San Francisco,
which promises to be only the first of such moves as we
broaden our reach and influence around the world.
Over the course of the year, we settled in to the Bullitt
Center. As remarkable as the building is, our ultraefficient, healthy and productive office space now feels
less like a bold new frontier and more like a home (a home
that we happily share with hundreds of visitors every
month). It’s a feeling that gives me hope. Some day, this is
how we’ll build everything.
As a movement, we’re not settling in. Our work is just
beginning. Time is not our friend as the effects of climate
change are becoming more visible, and the need for
widespread resilient and regenerative design continues to
grow. Nevertheless, the developments of 2013 fill me with
excitement about where we’re headed next.
In friendship,
Jason F. McLennan

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE:
A YEAR OF GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE
The built environment’s most rigorous and ambitious
performance standard grew tremendously in 2013. The
number of registered projects increased by 23%, with
new projects in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and
China. In April, the Living Science Wing at the Bertschi
School in Seattle, Washington, became the world’s fourth
certified Living Building.
Most notably, the Bullitt Center, a commercial building
in Seattle opened its doors on Earth Day, May 22nd, 2013.
Our Seattle office became one of the first tenants to
move in to the building, and we spent much of the year
experiencing firsthand what it’s like to work, learn and
thrive in a Living Building.
Dozens of other projects around the world completed
construction and began proving their performance during
their requisite 12-month occupancy periods.

NET ZERO ENERGY
BUILDING CERTIFICATION
Our Net Zero Energy Building Certification program gained traction as a way
to both assert a common definition for Net Zero Energy and verify net zero
claims. In 2013, three projects—DPR Construction’s Phoenix Regional Office,
zHome and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation Headquarters—achieved
Net Zero Energy Building Certification.

CHALLENGE EDUCATION
We continued our tradition of providing top-notch,
in-person education opportunities throughout North
America with our “Understanding the Living Building
Challenge” workshop series, but we didn’t stop there.
In 2013, we also held workshops throughout Europe
and expanded our programming to include live webinars
and Petal workshops, which focused on particular
performance areas of the Challenge. Over the course
of 2013, we offered 217 separate activities, drawing a
total attendance of 10,859 people.

PETAL HANDBOOKS
As part of our commitment to supporting the pioneering efforts of
our Living Building Challenge project teams, we set out to produce
in-depth, web-based resource guides for each of the Living Building
Challenge’s seven performance categories, or “Petals.”
These Petal Handbooks draw on extensive staff-led research and
incorporate the feedback from our project teams. We produced
four handbooks—Materials, Water, Site and Energy—in 2013. We will
continue to release the remaining Petal Handbooks and update each
guide regularly.

LIVING COMMUNITIES
With the support of the Summit Foundation, we have developed Living Community plans
with communities in Bend, Oregon; San Francisco, California; and UniverCity in Burnaby,
British Columbia. The plans visualize a Living Community model that is energy independent,
focused on walking and biking as primary means of transportation, water independent and
waste neutral, secure and resilient in the event of negative impacts, integrated with local
food and agriculture, and connected to nature and natural systems.

Appendices
In 2013, the Institute continued the critical work of identifying
and subsequently removing the regulatory and financial barriers
that inhibit the widespread adoption of restorative building
practices. In tandem with the Living Building Challenge, our
research agenda helps illuminate a pathway to long-term
resiliency in our buildings and communities.
We published Phase II of the Economics of Change report in
October 2013. The overarching goal of the project is to catalyze a
shift in mainstream real estate practices to support a restorative
built environment. The report defines policy recommendations in
the following areas:
• Broader Concepts of Value and Evaluation
• New Accounting and Reporting Rules and Standards
• Integrated Design Process Standards
• Integrated Cost Estimating Standards
• Energy, Water, Ecosystem Services, Public Health, Materials,
Whole Buildings and Infrastructure
In the fall of 2013, we began work on a groundbreaking study
to investigate costs, benefits and approaches necessary to
improve building performance in the District of Columbia
from LEED Platinum to zero energy, zero water and Living
Building status. The report, titled Net Zero and Living Building
Challenge Financial Study, also advised the District of Columbia
government on policy drivers and identified possible incentives
to encourage restorative building.

Social Justice and Equity Indicators:
The Institute launched a new major program, JUST TM, in September 2013,
at the Clinton Global Initiative summit. Focused on the social justice
practices of companies and organizations, JUST provides a clear, elegant
and informative social justice label that rates participants’ performance on
factors such as their treatment of their workers (Diversity, Worker Benefits,
Safety and Equity) and their role in the community (Local Benefits
and Stewardship). The JUST label, combined with the Declare product
information, presents a powerful and holistic view of both the products
a company produces and the human story behind those products. JUST
is primed to become a catalyst that will transform the entire marketplace
(not just the green building community) through transparency and
communication.

FOR
LOCAL ACTION
SM
The Ambassador Network is a global volunteer initiative
to encourage the rapid and widespread adoption of
restorative principles guided by the Living Building
Challenge. Within this network, individuals called
Ambassador Presenters and local groups called Living
Building Challenge Collaboratives discuss restorative
principles, share expertise and remove cultural, regulatory
and ideological barriers to systemic change.
In 2013, 292 volunteers from 24 countries were active
Ambassador Presenters and Collaborative Facilitators.
Ambassador Presenters delivered the Introduction
to the Living Building Challenge presentation on
193 occasions in 10 countries and 26 US states.
Fifteen new Collaboratives were established in 2013,
including eleven in the United States, two in Australia,
and one each in Brazil and New Zealand. To better

from buildings, treat it and release the final effluent.
Collaborative leaders presented on the topic of
decentralized systems that would be compliant for
projects pursuing the Water Petal, followed by a
question and answer session with engineering students
from the University of Michigan BLUElab.
MINNEAPOLIS + ST. PAUL, MN
Early in 2013, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Collaborative
planned to host seven Collaborative events, each
one diving deeper into the seven Petals of the Living
Building Challenge. Each Petal discussion was led by a
different Collaborative member and featured rotating
special guests, including Minnesota senator John Marty
and the Institute’s Executive Director, Richard Graves.
The interesting and informative series ended with a
special event on the newly launched JUST program.
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
As the Tuhoe project began to wrap up in New Zealand,
project team members and local supporters started
the first Collaborative in New Zealand. Their first event
drew over 150 members of the community to learn
more about the Living Building Challenge and the
Tuhoe project, a Living Building Challenge-registered
project seeking full Living certification.

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL
In 2013, dedicated volunteers made the seamless
transition from a group of Ambassador Presenters
into a Collaborative, forming our first South American
Collaborative. This group is focused on spreading the
Living Building Challenge in São Paulo by educating local
firms and institutions, researching local solutions and
potential enhancements to the Petals for Brazil and São
Paulo, specifically, and working toward registering the first
projects in Brazil.

LIVING FUTURE INSTITUTE AUSTRALIA
For the Living Future Institute of Australia (LFIA), which
was established in August 2012 as the first Institute
outside of North America, 2013 was a year of ecosystem
establishment and great growth. From just one
Collaborative in 2012, there are now six representing a
Collaborative in nearly every capital city across Australia.
In 2013, two new buildings pursuing the Living Building
Challenge opened, one commenced construction and four
new projects registered.
The key element of the LFIA success was bringing
together partners already achieving great things to work
out how to do even better.

2013 ACHIEVEMENTS
The International Living Future Institute trained Australian
Ambassadors, who presented numerous “Introducing the
Living Building Challenge” sessions in Sydney, Melbourne
and Brisbane.
The Institute also trained LFIA instructors to conduct
workshops on the Living Building Challenge, Energy
and Water Petals. LFIA delivered numerous lectures and
workshops in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane
and Queensland.
Three LFIA board members attended the Living Future
unConference and, upon their return, shared conference
highlights with an audience of nearly 150.
In October 2013, Amanda Sturgeon, Vice President of the
Living Building Challenge, visited the Australia Institute
and trained auditors so that LFIA could certify Australian
projects.
LFIA launched their new website, living-future.org.au, as
the hub for information about the Living Building Challenge
in Australia.

STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2013
The International Living Future Institute had a very
successful year in 2013. We were able to grow our
unrestricted net assets by $770,000 to almost
$1,000,000. Temporarily restricted net assets are a
substantial $543,000.
We are entering 2014 in a stronger position than ever
before in our history. We ended 2013 with over $700,000
in cash; we have pledged commitments for our 2014
programs of over $1,000,000 from our sponsors;
we have fully funded our board-designated reserve;
and the excess of revenues over expenses from
operations was over $930,000 for 2013. We are
enthusiastic about our opportunities in 2014 and are
pleased with the results of 2013.

CHALLENGE HEROES
The Living Building Challenge has inspired significant
change in how buildings are designed, built, rehabbed and
operated. These successes are the result of tireless efforts
made by individuals who have not only adopted the Living
Building Challenge, but have also profoundly demonstrated
how its principles can be used to rethink business as
usual. These individuals have nurtured the Living Building
Challenge as a movement—locally, regionally, nationally
and internationally—and have led by example. In 2013, the
International Living Future Institute honored the following
people for their tremendous efforts:
Denis Hayes, President, Bullitt Foundation
Chris Rogers and Chris Faul, Founding Partners, Point 32
