More livable, comfortable, and productive spaces for everyone. The World Health Organization has highlighted the significant amount of time people spend indoors (around 90% of their time), emphasizing the importance of healthy living environments. Renovation projects not only present an opportunity to improve energy efficiency but also to enhance the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), which is vital for the health and productivity of occupants. With a large number of buildings in need of updates, this becomes a crucial moment to address both sustainability and well-being. The challenge lies in executing renovations that improve IEQ, ensuring that buildings are not only energy-efficient but also support the health of those who spend the majority of their time within them. This dual focus on energy and environmental quality in renovations can lead to more livable, comfortable, and productive spaces for everyone. #health #IEQ #sustainability #productivity

"How investing in a healthy indoor environment can increase asset value" 🏗️ With more than 95 million square feet of New York City office space is currently #unoccupied –the equivalent of 30 Empire State Buildings, the world is wondering what's next? How do we activate and ignite empty space? 🏙️ Hines recently shared, "Healthy building, healthy bottom line," taking a deep dive into the significant returns of #workplace well-being.💡 ▫ Increased talent retention + attraction. ▫️ Employee productivity + satisfaction. ▫️ Investors recognize wellness certifications. "International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)’s research found that a high-performing healthy building yields a net present value (NPV) of $21,172 per employee, or $115 per square foot, over 10 years, assuming a conservative $20 per-square-foot cost premium based on benefits related only to #productivity, #retention and #well-being. A company with 100 employees would see a $2.1 million NPV over 10 years; with 1,000 employees, the NPV would be more than $21 million.”💰 ♻️ Here at Evrsphere, we're making the invisible, visible through a human-centric approach to #sustainability in the built environment - connecting people, place, and performance. ♻️ 🌎 ♻️ 🌍 ♻️ 🌏 ♻️ #evrsphere #hines #healthybuildings #humanhealth #wellness #sustainability #iwbi https://lnkd.in/g6AZk-ex
