Episode 3 - Regenerative Design: Atlanta’s Greenest Building


Listen Later

Sitting prominently on the campus of Georgia Tech, The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design stands as the greenest commercial building in the Southeast. Opened in 2019, it is the first building in Georgia and 28th in the world to earn Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification, the world’s most ambitious and holistic green building achievement. While skeptics questioned if it was even possible to design a building in the hot, humid South that would produce more energy and water than it consumes, Georgia Tech and the Kendeda Fund made it happen. Welcome to the future of the built environment, a place of learning, wonder and inspiration!
