The Center for Active Design highlights the critical role of health-focused building strategies in combating climate change. From reducing carbon emissions to enhancing occupant well-being, this approach drives real impact across the built environment. Fitwel Certification System offers more than 100 strategies that have a measurable impact on all aspects of #ESG, with an emphasis on human health, #ClimateChange #Fitwel #BuildingHealth #Sustainability #HealthyBuildings #ESG
🌆 As #ClimateChange raises temperatures, cities face the urban heat island effect, where concrete and buildings trap heat, making urban areas hotter than rural ones. This increases health risks, like heat exhaustion and worsened mental health. 🌳 Trees and green spaces help combat this by providing shade, cooling the air, and reducing the need for AC. Incorporating greenery into urban planning, from parks to street trees, can make cities cooler, healthier, and more enjoyable. 🌿 Learn more about the power of trees at Fitwel Certification System’s blog, backed by Center for Active Design research: https://ow.ly/LJgl50Tf85H
