b'Alive is not a word you use to describe buildings very often but this four-story 60,000 square foot CIRS building on the UBC campus in Vancouver is practically a living, breathing creature.

Learn about what might be the greenest building in Canada this week on Green Energy Futures CKUA Radio podcast.
