The Study - Code Barriers for Sustainable, Affordable, Residential Development

Using the Living Building Challenge criteria and six case studies from our region, the City of Vancouver, Clark County, and Cascadia Region Green Building Council  have identified our regulatory barriers to sustainable, affordable, residential development. This work was supported by a grant from the Washington Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development.
