LivingWorks

What LivingWorks does

LivingWorks is a privately held sustainability consulting firm headquartered in Los Angeles that delivers advisory services to municipalities, utilities, airport authorities, developers, architects, and consultants across Southern California. Its practice is organized around six integrated service areas: green building certification and strategic advisement (LEED, CalGreen, Envision, WELL, EnergyStar); ESG consulting using GRI, GRESB, and Sustainalytics frameworks; environmental and regulatory compliance; sustainable aviation and transit; renewable energy and clean vehicle solutions; and community engagement and anti-displacement strategies. The firm operates without a proprietary technology platform, relying instead on established sustainability frameworks and direct client engagement.

The firm's revenue model is professional services, with quote-based pricing determined by project scope and client requirements rather than disclosed productized pricing. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales through direct consultative engagement, and its customer base is anchored by a small group of public-sector and utility clients in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, including the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, Los Angeles World Airports, Long Beach Airport, John Wayne Airport, the City of Long Beach, the City of Inglewood, Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, and the U.S. Green Building Council. No headcount, revenue, funding, or ownership data is publicly disclosed, and no technology assets such as APIs, applications, or patents are referenced.
