Overview

In order to properly apply LBC and Core requirements, project teams will need to identify a project’s Typology, Living Transect, and Project Area. The Typology affects which Imperatives are required, and the project’s Living Transect affects the applicability of certain requirements and exceptions. The Project Area is used to calculate thresholds of compliance for some Imperatives. Establishing these basic aspects of the project is an important step in understanding the requirements for pursuing the Living Building Challenge or Core.
