Kudos, Dustin and Garrett for taking the plunge and going for it on the Living Building Challenge. Your water harvesting/filtration system is particularly intriguing, and I look forward to following how that progresses. You mentioned Passive House as being influential in your efforts to design at net zero energy, so I wanted to include a link here for folks that want to learn more about Passive House technology: http://hammerandhand.com/passive-house The link includes an introduction to the basic principles of Passive House, links to three select national examples, and photos. Keep up the good work!

The materials radius has been very difficult for us. We’re trying our best on it, but we’ve met cases where a product that will increase the longevity / performance of the building is outside the radius – which leaves us in a bit of a conundrum. We’ve also found that it takes enormous amounts of time to track down every product and constituent product – manufacturers and distributors don’t always know the answer or aren’t willing to tell you. My six year comment was an off-the-cuff exaggeration of this issue. We’re two people trying to build this thing in a sustainable way with the help of friends and family – the amount of time it takes to track down every material, send letters to manufacturers, etc. is unmanageable without more money or staff.
