We are partners with the WELL Living Lab, Mayo Clinic, and Center for Active Design to advance the study of the indoor environment’s impact on human health and to help develop practices that can be implemented across the country. The WELL Living Lab Alliance is a global consortium of organizations that support the advancement of knowledge of healthy buildings to improve human health and well-being. Through our partnership, we help the industry provide guidance that our tenants can depend on to promote functional, energy efficient, and human health-enhancing spaces. We continue to monitor and track performance as science, data, and knowledge evolve. IEQ DURING CONSTRUCTION Design, construction, and renovation represent significant opportunities to drive energy efficiency, sustainability, and healthy environments. ESRT has implemented rigorous standards for sustainability and IEQ during construction of base building and tenant projects, as outlined in our High Performance Design and Construction Guidelines and Sustainability Guidelines. These include all of our IEQ policies, plans, and standards that are aligned with the most advanced national and international standards, including LEEDv4.1, WELLv2, and WELL Health-Safety.
EARLY ADOPTER OF WELL AT SCALE ESRT enrolled in WELL at Scale in November 2022 to demonstrate our dedication to healthy buildings across our entire portfolio. We are also one of the first REITs to recertify WELL Health-Safety four times. Under WELL at Scale, ESRT will benchmark performance, achieve WELL Certification, track continuous improvement of science based well-being metrics, and maintain a WELL Score.
