9. Living Buildings 1.Site (Limits to Growth, Urban Agriculture, Habitat Exchange, Car Free Living) 2.Water (Net Zero Water, Ecological Water Flow) 3.Energy (Net Zero Energy) 4.Health (Civilized Environment, Healthy Air, Biophilia [Environmental features, Natural shapes and forms, Natural patterns and processes, Light and space, Place- based relationships, Evolved human-nature relationships]) 5.Materials (Red List, Embodied Carbon Footprint, Responsible Industry, Appropriate Sourcing, Conservation + Reuse) 6.Equity (Human Scale + Humane Places, Democracy + Social Justice, Rights to Nature) 7.Beauty (Beauty + Spirit, Inspiration + Education)

10. Sustainable Sites 1.Site Selection 2.Pre-Design Assessment and Planning (Vegetation [native, gardening, etc], Outdoor Activities, Vehicular access [ie: construction], Stormwater assessment, Renewable opportunities, Engage stakeholders, etc) 3.Site Design - Water (irrigation, streams, stormwater) 4.Site Design - Soil and Vegetation (plant selection, restoration, heat islands, wildfires, etc) 5.Site Design - Materials Selection (materials onsite, material content, low VOC, sustainable practices, etc) 6.Site Design - Human Health and Well-Being (education, accessibility, history, social interaction, quiet spaces, etc) 7.Construction (disturbance, recycling, etc) 8.Operations and Maintenance (recycling, emissions, etc) 9.Monitoring and Innovation

11. Living Buildings 1.Building - a whole building designed for disassembly and material reuse Existing Buildings Local Material Sourcing 2.Product - a building product that facilitates design for disassembly and material reuse Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Carbon Management Water Efficiency & Quality Material Optimization Public and Ecosystem Health Protection Lifecycle building is designing buildings to facilitate disassembly and material reuse to minimize waste, energy consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
