Recommendation GB 1 — Coordinate and facilitate partnerships to implement the green building action plan.

We must maintain effective partnerships and continue collaboration between public agencies, non-profit organizations, and businesses that encourage green building. These partnerships will work to:

• Develop strategic plans that are consistent with the Beyond Waste Plan goals.
• Create green building education and outreach materials, and identify potential funding sources.
• Support the Cascadia Region Green Building Council in encouraging the expanded integration of the Living Building Challenge into current construction practices. The Living Building standard is the greenest building standard currently on the market.

Milestone GB A: Washington continues to be a leader in green building.

Milestone GB B: All new state-funded buildings continue to meet or exceed green building requirements.

Milestone GB G: At least five buildings are built to the Living Building standard in Washington.
