About Fitwel & The Center for Active Design

image


Fitwel is the world's leading platform for certifying healthy buildings through objective third-party assessments. Fitwel's evidence-based standard is maintained by the non-profit organization, the Center for Active Design (CfAD), which applies multidisciplinary expertise to empower decision makers with research and technical assistance that lead to measurable outcomes. 

The need to optimize industrial workspaces has always been there - but the incentive and demand has not. COVID-19's evolving impact on infrastructure, the economy, and worldwide public health has invoked a new sense of urgency and willingness to optimize industrial workspaces. Our newly published report, A Better Box: Optimizing Industrial Spaces for Employee Health and Wellness, offers an approachable path for implementation. 

While the report features practical recommendations for promoting employee health within the industrial sector, the Fitwel Commercial and Industrial Site scorecard quantifies these guidelines and provides precise requirements for achieving certification. 

Learn more about this scorecard through the product one-pager or by visiting fitwel.org.
