Fitwel Certification System’s Post

Value in real estate today means prioritizing people's health alongside environmental sustainability and resilience. With the intensifying risks associated with climate adaptation, industry leaders are recognizing that trusted standards like Fitwel Certification System, U.S. Green Building Council, BREEAM Official, and others aren't just checkboxes—they're business imperatives. REITs are at the forefront, investing in health and well-being to attract tenants and boost value.

Choosing a property is one of the most critical decisions you can make. I've witnessed a significant shift in how people make these decisions as green certifications are more and more becoming an integral factor. Green certifications, like LEED, BERDE, EDGE, and WELL, provide a trusted benchmark for #sustainability. They assure buyers and tenants that the property meets rigorous environmental and health standards. It is also a clear step forward in reducing one’s carbon footprint, reflecting a growing awareness and responsibility towards our planet.
