Pittsburgh leads the world in Living Building Challenge targeted projects, and, according to Aurora Sharrard, Executive Director for the Green Building Alliance in Pittsburgh, “the really interesting opportunity we’ve had in Pittsburgh is some of our [green] buildings are also educational facilities, which is great because it helps educate Pittsburghers and Western Pennsylvanians about why this is so important. It’s the decisions we make on a daily basis, not just a single building project.”
