[The rules]

Renting a sustainable facility means our renters must plan and rent sustainably. Why? Sustainable actions help preserve the integrity of our planet and conserve our natural resources.  They also help us with the Living Building Challenge. Cope is the first fully certified Living Building Challenge (LBC) Building in Indiana. Due to LBC, there are certain requirements for how we use the building. What does that mean for you? As a renter, it is important to make your rental at Cope as sustainable as possible.
