Air  concept aims to ensure high levels of indoor air quality across a building’s lifetime

through a range of strategies that include:

 🍃 Active and passive building design.

 🍃 Minimization of human exposure to harmful contaminants.

 🍃 Human behavior interventions.

Water concept covers aspects of the quality, distribution and control of lwater in a building. It includes features that address the availability and contaminant thresholds of drinking water, as well as features targeting the management of water to avoid damage to building materials and impact on environment.

 💧 Awareness and maintenance of water quality.

 💧 Provision of adequate sanitation through better infrastructure design and operations.

 💧 Reducing health risks due to excessive moisture within buildings.

Nourishment concept responds to the human dietary patterns, which are influenced by a complex mixture of personal, cultural and environmental factors, including the buildings and communities. It encourages the creation of food environments, where the healthiest choice is the easiest choice.

Light concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments

that promote visual, mental and biological health.

Integrating daylight and electric light to create lighting strategies focused on human health, along with traditional requirements for visual acuity and comfort, can lead to healthier and more productive environments.​

 ☀️ Reducing circadian phase disruption.

 ☀️ Improving sleep quality.

 ☀️ Positively impacting mood and productivity.

Movement concept promotes physical activity in everyday life through environmental design, policies and programs to ensure that movement opportunities are integrated into the fabric of daily routines.​

 🧡 Discouraging sedentary behavior.

 🧡 Creating and enhancing activity opportunities.

Thermal Comfort concept aims to match a maximum level of individual thermal preferences through improved HVAC system design.​

 🌶️ Comfortable thermal environment that satisfies all occupants.

 🌶️ Decrease symptoms associated with sick building syndrome.

 🌶️ Human-centric thermal zoning.

Sound concept aims to bolster occupant health and well-being through the identification and mitigation of acoustical comfort parameters that shape occupant experiences in the built environment.

  🔊 Consistent background sound levels.

  🔊 Sealing gaps at connections and doors.

  🔊 Replacing areas of hard surfaces in a space with absorptive materials.

Materials concept aims to reduce human exposure to chemicals that may impact health during the construction and operation of buildings.

Concept follows two strategies for selecting building materials and products.

One is to increase literacy on materials by promoting ingredient disclosure, whereas the second is to promote the assessment and optimization of product composition in order to minimize impact on the environment and human health.

Mind concept promotes mental health through design and programmatic strategies that seek to address various factors influencing cognitive and emotional well-being.

​The built environment serves as a powerful tool to help mitigate these adverse mental health outcomes.

 🪷 Improving opportunities for restoration.

 🪷 Increasing contact with nature within built spaces.

 🪷 Supporting the availability and use of mental health services and treatment.

Community concept aims to build a culture of health that accommodates

diverse population needs.

 🌳 Health promotion programs.

 🌳 Support business continuity and remote work readiness.

 🌳 Equal and affordable access to comprehensive health services.
