“To date, 122 buildings around the world have registered as having followed ILFI zero-carbon certification standards, but only 11 have been certified, including the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. It’s a high bar, said Leo da Costa, a principal at the Seattle-based LMN Architects, which is designing the redevelopment of the Austin Convention Center now underway in Texas, along with Page, a global architecture and engineering firm. The $1.6-billion project, scheduled to open in four years, is planned as the first zero-carbon convention center in the world, da Costa told Convene. Once open, buildings must undergo a year-long verification process by a third party to achieve certification.”
