RESET®

At the Bureau Veritas Group Shanghai Summit, a gathering of the most influential players in the decarbonization standards space, our president, Stanton Wong, shared insights on the role of data in advancing decarbonization, emphasizing how critical it is for tracking both operational and embodied carbon. With half a dozen speeches and a pair of panels packed into a half-day summit, the event accentuates the realities and nuances of decarbonization. He also mentioned how the government can play a significant role by requiring reporting to drive iterative progress toward carbon-neutral and net zero buildings and highlighted how RESET can help automate foundational data collection for future reporting needs. The summit marked a rare and collaborative exchange among the world’s leading certification bodies, showcasing the cooperative energy among the standards that participated on the panel, including RESET, LEED from U.S. Green Building Council, WELL from International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), and BREEAM Official — all aiming to move the industry toward greener, healthier buildings.

Congratulations to the Kaiterra Sensedge Go for becoming a RESET Air Accredited Monitor! This is Kaiterra's 4th IAQ monitor to become RESET Air Accredited! Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Switzerland, Kaiterra offers comprehensive air quality monitoring and optimization solutions for healthy buildings and workplaces. Their new wireless, battery-powered air quality monitor, the Kaiterra Sensedge Go, provides real-time data on multiple air quality parameters, including PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, CO2, etc. Using a unique battery technology, Kaiterra Sensedge Go offers a battery life of up to 8 years.

"A lot of companies make big statements but never follow-up on actual progress and lessons learned. Sometimes it's because pausing to measure progress and communicate the lessons takes a lot of time. Sometimes it's because no progress was made. Sometimes it's because the statements were only ever just PR. And then, there's the LVMH and Hang Lung Properties partnership, that takes the time to transparently and candidly share progress... and to educate. This is incredible. I hope a lot of people dig into the summary of what was released below. It's not perfect - and that's exactly the point - but it's really, really excellent. This is leadership, especially in a green-hushing environment where most companies are scared of saying the wrong thing. Or, where companies say it's 'off-brand' to talk about sustainability. Talking about good things should never be 'off-brand'... unless your brand is off. Congrats to everyone involved. We continue to be thrilled to be involved." - Raefer Wallis, CEO & Founder of RESET Quick links for more info: - Real Estate & Climate Forum website: https://lnkd.in/gJqWejs5 - Listen to the Changemakers Circle Podcast: https://lnkd.in/gyXhDPdU

"Carbon cannot be addressed in isolation—true progress requires improving material circularity, which in turn depends on enhancing material health by removing harmful chemicals. Each step in this process is essential and interconnected." - Raefer Wallis At Hang Lung Properties’ Real Estate and Decarbonization Summit on September 20th, Raefer Wallis, our founder, shared his expertise on decarbonizing interior spaces, offering practical insights and strategies.  Raefer outlined a practical decarbonization strategy and actionable steps, providing clear guidance on how to set baselines, identify hotspots, and implement solutions. He then moderated a discussion exploring best practices in circularity for retail and office spaces with industry experts, including:  - LVMH Gaïa - Nicolas Martin - HSBC - Greg Hadley-king   - Interface - Andy Lee This action-packed and substance-driven summit featured ten speeches and five panels, delivering in-depth conversations on low-carbon construction, energy efficiency, and sustainable design, providing a comprehensive look at the industry's decarbonization challenges and opportunities.

Excited to share this podcast featuring Stanton Wong, President of RESET, discussing the evolution of the RESET Standard. It explores the initial development of the indoor air quality monitoring standard, RESET Air, into a world-leading performance and data-driven standard for continuous air quality monitoring, to RESET’s expanding role in broader sustainability targets in reducing operational and embodied carbon footprints and improving the circularity in building materials via quantifiable metrics. In the podcast, Stanton dives into the history of RESET Air and how it started as a response to specific sustainability and health challenges, highlighting how RESET symbolizes a significant shift in indoor air quality toward continuous performance data collection. He addresses the challenges faced, how RESET Air overcame these obstacles, and how RESET continues to play a key role in defining industry standards and ensuring accurate and reliable data. Stanton emphasizes that to truly make a long-term impact, it is critical to build sustainability and health into the DNA of companies and to use performance metrics to drive forward in a measurable way. For those interested in air quality, building management, data-driven sustainability, and where RESET is going, this podcast offers valuable insight for aspirational leaders and teams who need an effective pathway toward net zero and decarbonization.
