Introducing the only Adhered TPO Roofing System designated by Declare as Resilient Red List Approved

The Living Building Challenge

The goal of the Living Building Challenge is to create buildings that generate more energy than they use, capture and treat all water on site, and use healthy materials. It’s the world’s most ambitious, advanced, and holistic performance standard for green, resilient, and healthy buildings.

Designing a LBC roof system

The Stanley Center is a private foundation with projects that range from tackling climate change to mass violence and atrocity prevention. They put their values into the buildings design by rising to the Living Building Challenge. GAF brought the expertise, products and resources to help make it happen. When complete, the center will be one of the most sustainable buildings in the world, 1 of only 31 to meet accreditation of the LBC.
