There is a clear value when building owners and tenants work together to optimize buildings for occupant health. Tenants that locate within a Fitwel certified building benefit from the existing healthy amenities provided by the building owner, and likewise, the overall building will benefit from additional healthy policies that are prioritized and implemented by a tenant.
Based on this mutually beneficial relationship, we have developed this tool, corresponding with Fitwel v2.1, to provide direction on the roles of the building owner and tenant, and to foster collaboration in the implementation of the Fitwel Strategies. This tool also offers building owners with a mechanism for prioritizing strategies and sections that will extend additional health impacts to their tenants.
