Marja Preston, President of Grow Community, will be one of 4 panelists for Part 2: Summing up Sustainability, of a discussion, hosted by AIA Seattle, about LEED vs Built Green in Multifamily Buildings. This discussion will continue this conversation by addressing the more visionary sustainable certification systems of Passive House, Living Building Challenge, and One Planet Living in the context of multifamily housing.
