COVID-19 has demonstrated the critical role that buildings play in human health. Our strong foundation formed over more than a decade and continued focus and expertise in IEQ in buildings helped prepare us for the unanticipated challenge of COVID-19. Our enhanced IEQ and health and safety measures, which were already implemented in advance of the pandemic and further refined during the pandemic, allowed our employees, tenants, and visitors to return to our offices with confidence. We continue to monitor and track performance as science, data, and knowledge evolve. In alignment with our approach to evaluate strategically and leverage innovative technologies, Empire State Realty Trust continually tests, vets, and implements IEQ strategies and technology across our portfolio. Active bipolar ionization and air purification is installed in over one million square feet of office space across our portfolio that has been proven in an accredited laboratory to neutralize coronaviruses by 99.92% 1 . This technology syncs both with the ionization technologies and with a building’s IT infrastructure, providing encrypted data, notifications, and reports through self-calibrating sensors that monitor for chemical and biological contaminants.
