Fitwel, the world's leading evidence-based healthy building certification system, announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Awair, an industry leader in indoor air quality sensing and monitoring. This first Fitwel data partnership will directly integrate Awair Omni’s commercial-grade IAQ sensor data with Fitwel's certification platform, enabling performance-based verification of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) strategies while significantly reducing the documentation burden on building owners and operators.

The partnership addresses a critical market need: as tenant and resident demand for healthy indoor environments reaches unprecedented levels, real estate professionals require efficient, accurate ways to demonstrate their buildings' health-promoting features. This alliance delivers the industry's most comprehensive indoor air quality solution, combining Awair's proven sensor technology with Fitwel's rigorous, research-backed certification framework.

Meeting Explosive Demand for Healthier Spaces

Consumer and tenant demand for indoor environmental quality has surged in recent years, driven by increased awareness of the environment-health connection:

• Greystar reports strong tenant demand for healthy building features, such as fresh air ventilation.

• Cambridge University research shows buildings with healthy building certification achieve 4.6-4.8% rental premiums.

• Indoor air quality, lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustic control have emerged as the most in-demand strategies among both residential and commercial tenants
