The Living Building Challenge
The International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge strives to create regenerative buildings that not only work to conserve resources but create a positive impact on the community and environment around it. The Living Building Challenge emphasizes seven performance areas called “petals”: place, water, energy, health & happiness, materials, equity, and beauty.
Select Elkay products may comply with the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge Materials Petal. Please contact sustainability@elkay.com for more information.
WELL Building Standard
The International Well Institute’s WELL Building Standard focuses on the role of the built environment in health and wellbeing. WELL buildings seek to improve the comfort, happiness and health of the building occupants through thoughtful design, holistic thinking, and intentional material choices. Elkay products are designed, engineered and built with everyday life in mind.
Many Elkay products have Health Product Declarations and are free of key hazardous substances. As such, they may contribute to WELL buildings. Please contact sustainability@elkay.com for more information.
