Site Tour: PAE Living Building

​Climate Curious is excited to host a site tour of the PAE Living Building! The tour will be followed by a casual happy hour for attendees to debrief and discuss sustainable living and the built environment.

​What is the PAE Living Building?

​The PAE Living Building is the world’s first developer-led Living Building - a regenerative structure that operates like a natural ecosystem - and one of the largest urban commercial Living Buildings in the world.

​A bold step toward a regenerative future, the building supplies all of its energy through onsite and offsite solar arrays, and meets 100% of its water needs through rainwater capture and treatment. It also aligns with Portland’s 2050 goal for 100% renewable energy — three decades ahead of schedule.

​More than a high-performance building, it’s a replicable, cost-effective model for sustainable urban development. Designed to last 500 years, the PAE Living Building is rooted in local character while setting a global benchmark — and we hope it will inspire a new generation of developers, architects, engineers, and builders to follow.
