Overview: The intention of this paper is to stimulate a discussion of what a truly sustainable building would look like, both in its construction and operation phase, based on the four system conditions of The Natural Step. One conclusion that the participants drew from this paper is that true sustainability may be more feasible than originally believed. Although it may take decades for the technology and practices to be fully developed, the task of achieving Full Alignment with The Natural Step system conditions as defined above is possible. In some cases, as demonstrated by the solar energy example, the goal may be achieved more quickly than first imagined.
