Fitwel, the healthy building certification system operated by The Center for Active Design (CfAD), announced the formal launch of its Viral Response module, with additional commitments for adoption from leading companies, including BentallGreenOak, Boston Properties, Brookfield Properties, DLC Europe, Hudson Pacific Properties, Kilroy Realty Corporation, Nuveen Real Estate, and The Tower Companies.
Today's formal launch of the module, which provides annual, third-party certification of policies and practices informed by the latest public health research on mitigating the spread of contagious diseases, reflects the quick progress Fitwel and its industry and academic advisors have made to prepare the module for widespread implementation. The module's comprehensive guidance and turnkey policies were designed to be efficiently implemented across commercial and residential portfolios or individual assets, helping companies to build trust with tenants and employees.
