Fitwel Certification System

"2024 Fitwel Certification System Road Show" – 8th Stop! In addition to residential buildings, commercial office spaces have also been a key focus for our team in implementing Fitwel. As the first company in Taiwan to apply for Fitwel Certification System for commercial office spaces, Lenovo DCG Taipei R&D Center and Lenovo NKI office, both located in the Nangang Software Park, have successfully obtained the certification. The Lenovo NKI office even renewed its certification this year, achieving the highest rating of three stars! From equipment and space planning to operational policies, 聯想 has consistently set a great example for healthy office environments. We were honored to visit the NKI office with President Joanna, where we explored spaces such as the quiet room, shared work areas, rest zones, bar counter, and vegetable wall. We are excited about the potential for more commercial office spaces to adopt healthy operational practices, building on Lenovo's foundation.

After the successful completion of the first phase of "CMP Midtown," a green landscape luxury residence, the second phase of "CMP Midtown" has taken a further step by integrating Fitwel’s health strategies and achieving the highest level of 3-star certification. This marks a new chapter in sustainable living for the Calligraphy Greenway. We are honored to join Ms. Joanna Frank and the Pujen team in celebrating the 3-star Fitwel achievement. Under the leadership of Mr. Wang, General Manager of Pujen Construction, the team also had the opportunity to tour the luxury residences of "CMP Midtown Phase 1," located next to the Taichung InterContinental Hotel. From the landscape design surrounding the property to the high-quality public facilities inside, the experience truly embodies the feeling of an "urban oasis."

"2024 Fitwel Certification System Road Show" – 9th Stop! Horizon Design & Construction Company focuses on user experience and corporate culture shaping as the core of its design philosophy, firmly believing that good design can bring energy and make a positive impact on daily life. This approach has earned them the trust and partnership of major industries, including technology, finance, and healthcare. Not only do they integrate sustainability into their space designs, but they also reflect it within their own corporate culture. Last year, Horizon Design celebrated its 35th anniversary and officially launched its ESG initiatives. This year, their headquarters in Taipei achieved Fitwel Certification System 3-Star certification—the highest level. Unlike other projects with new office spaces, their headquarters is located in a 20-year-old building in the city center. The team worked creatively within the limitations of the existing structure, implementing Fitwel strategies through furniture, spatial reorganization, and plant planning. We are excited to witness the direct impact that Fitwel has had on the design process!
