Congratulations to the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) team for organizing the WELL Tokyo Summit last week! It was a splendid event with numerous insights shared around #healthybuildings #resilience #esg and #diversity Thank you too for inviting me to speak at the event and share about how we at uHoo have helped our clients create healthier, greener and more people-centric spaces. Some of the points that I learned from the event are: 1. Diversity is highly important in organizational resilience. 2. There is a blurring of lines of responsibilities among developers and tenants. 3. WELL Core supports tenants who wants to achieve WELL for interiors, which reduces their costs of achieving it. 4. Harmonization of standards will help investors assess properties better. 5. From a developer's perspective, the product they sell to the market needs to match what the market wants. 6. There is a clear flight to quality. Properties and buildings that are certified as green and healthy are clearly more in demand and have a premium attached to it. 7. WELL certified is not just certification but a better quality of life.  8. High vacancy increased conversations on health and wellbeing. Health and wellbeing is now a driving factor to reduce vacancy.  9. WELL is now the top KPI for ESG measurement, especially the S of ESG. It was also nice to hear the favorite company policies of the panelists . 1. Flexibility in working style, time and place - Kirara Washida (Woonerf Inc) 2. Company housing with preferential rates - Hide sawada (Shimizu Corporation) 3. Greenery outside of building with butterflies - Mariko Murata (Mori Building Co., Ltd.) 4. Movement inside buildings - Giovanni Cossu (CapitaLand) And much like any other event, the uHoo Aura would be running and checking the environment. The air quality was excellent throughout the event. The WELL Platinum certified building of Mori Building really lives up to its name. This is how buildings should be built. Kudos to Mori Building for a WELL-built building. It was also a pleasure reconnecting with the IWBI team and meeting new people passionate about making buildings greener and healthier. Looking forward to the summit in Sydney!

Why are we still breathing bad indoor air when the side effects, impact on health and productivity are widely known. https://lnkd.in/e-wCmHV3.

Today is World Ventil8 Day and the time for change is now! We know many of you are passionate about improving air quality, and want to part of the change, so here is your chance. The air you breathe affects every part of your body, from your lungs to your heart and brain. The air in our homes, offices, schools and factories is contaminated with polluted outdoor air as well as other impurities generated indoors. The proposed Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill or #EllasLaw would give the UK the best clean air laws in the world and improve the health of the nation, says, Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah. Everyone has the right to breathe clean air. Be part of the change and sign the petition today: https://lnkd.in/dxkXUMUH #indoorairquality #WorldVentil8 #BreatheBetterLiveBetter

LEED v5 is out in beta, and it now offers up to 10 points for continuous indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring. The latest version of the green building certification is a big upgrade from LEED v4.1, where a maximum of 4 points were awarded for periodic spot testing. LEED v5 also provides up to 13 points for its IAQ performance credit. Getting all of these points can be achieved in different ways, including: - Installing IAQ sensors to monitor CO2, TVOC, and PM2.5 (6 points) - Meeting IAQ thresholds using continuous monitoring (4 points) - Complying with ASHRAE 62.1 (2 points) - Installing MERV 13 filters (1-2 points) It is great to see IAQ becoming more of a priority. At @Metrikus, we think monitoring it should be standard practice for every commercial building. With continuous data about key IAQ parameters, you can find quick wins to optimise occupant health, wellbeing and productivity. And you can even use this same data to spot inefficiencies in your BMS or HVAC systems – helping you to reduce energy consumption. If your company is not monitoring IAQ, it should be. Drop me a message to find out how we can help you get started. #IndoorAirQuality #LEED #Health

The continuing push for real time and ongoing Indoor Air Quality Monitoring just got a major boost. Great to see the USGBC National Capital Region latest release of the LEED green building certification program (v5) putting employee health and wellbeing front and centre through significant points incentive for real-time, continuous monitoring of indoor air quality . A total of 13 points are now available for the IAQ performance credit in LEED v5, up from 4 previously. 👍 #MeasureITtoManageIT #AirQualityMatters
