USGBC study finds strong support for healthy buildings, employee wellness
According to the results of a new SmartMarket Report released by Dodge Data & Analytics and USGBC, 67% of U.S. building owners are interested in creating healthier buildings for people.
“Our world is confronting massive challenges that affect our physical, mental, and social well-being,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, chief operating officer for USGBC. “We know that programs like USGBC’s LEED green building rating system and IWBI’s WELL Building Standard provide key solutions to business leaders who are looking for the best way to create healthier, more sustainable buildings. We will continue to educate and push the market to prioritize human health in the built environment, which has benefits that extend beyond the building itself to the cities, communities, and neighborhoods where we live.”
