The West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund and the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh have organized an August 18 workshop and tour of its Center for Sustainable Landscapes housing groundbreaking sustainability research, education programs and serves as a key part of the garden’s visitor experience.

In producing all of its own renewable energy, and treating and reusing all water captured on site, the CSL demonstrates the benefits of humanity living in harmony with nature. The CSL is the first and only project to simultaneously attain the planet’s highest sustainable building certifications:

-- Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous green building standard;

-- LEED Platinum – tied for the highest points awarded under version 2.2;

-- First and only Four Stars Sustainable SITES Initiative (SITES) for landscapes project (pilot); and

-- First and only WELL Building Platinum project (pilot).
