RainBank Rainwater Collection Systems principal Ken Blair is pleased to be a member of the Engineering and Consultant Team for Jason McLennan’s Heron Hall, a living building home on Bainbridge Island, WA.
McLennan is the CEO of the International Living Future Institute, a non profit organization behind the world’s most progressive and stringent green building guidance system. He is the creator of the Living Building Challenge and heads Cascadia Green Building Council, the Pacific Northwest chapter for the US Green Building Council and the Canada Green Building Council.
Here, Jason speaks about the living building challenge:
For McLennan, “it’s not enough for architects, construction companies, and real estate management companies to focus on reducing their environmental impact. The time is right to be far more ambitious, think instead about recharging and replenishing our planet“, explains Jason.
