Thank you, I will check it out! Have you read the Living Building Challenge. It takes LEED certification and goes a step beyond, taking into consideration how the building interacts with the overall surrounding area. It has a series of performance areas called, Petals, which look at traditional metrics like materials and energy, but also adds health & happiness and beauty as criteria to be met when designing a building, since the building is ultimately for the people and neighborhood it is found in.

Combining Living Building with Biomimicry and other nature-inspired processes like circular design is the future. Living Building has even designed a criteria for the Living Building Community!
