Healthier and more sustainable buildings
Indoor spaces that support human health and wellness have never been more important. In a 2020 survey from “A New Investor Consensus,” published by the Center for Active Design and Fitwel, UNEP FI, and BantallGreenOak, 87% of respondents experienced increased demand for healthy buildings over the past 12 to 24 months, and 92% expect demand to grow over the next three years. Additionally, almost 90% of participants plan to enhance their health and wellness strategy in the next year.
Demand is growing for healthier indoor spaces, and building owners and operators will need to address tenant and occupant concerns by creating indoor environments that support occupant health and well-being.
