Fitwel®
Fitwel® stands as a premier third-party certification system dedicated to elevating and nurturing the well-being of building occupants while fostering vibrant, healthy communities. With a repertoire of over 75 evidence-based design and operational strategies, Fitwel champions the highest standards at the building level. It squarely targets the enhancement of physical, mental, and social well-being for individuals who live, work labor, or visit a building. Vital components include strategic placement near transit hubs, grocery outlets, recreational areas like playgrounds and farmers markets, as well as an emphasis on walkability and access to bike lanes.
Moreover, Fitwel prioritizes the implementation of sound-dampening measures and the provision of water bottle refilling stations. By seamlessly integrating health and wellness principles into every phase, from design inception to ongoing operation, Fitwel endeavors to craft environments that not only support but actively promote healthier lifestyles. In this regard, Fitwel emerges as an indispensable catalyst within our overarching vision of Buildings for Better Lives and why we are incorporating its principles into all of our projects.
