Actiu’s headquarters is one of the 10 buildings in Europe that has obtained the WELL v2 Platinum certification, with it being the first in Spain to obtain it
Castalla/Alicante, 28th June 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the understanding of the relationship between habitable spaces and #health. Closed residential, work or leisure spaces where more than 90% of time is spent have a direct impact on #health and well-being in the day to day.
A human being’s relationship with their environment is multi-directional. Thus, buildings have an impact on the ecosystem and an influence on the fight against climate change. Similarly, urban environments also determine and condition the #health of buildings, and the #health of their users.
Factors such as lighting, accessibility, air conditioning, thermal and acoustic insulation, pollutants caused by some construction materials or volatile organic components (VOC) give rise to what is known as Sick Building Syndrome, which was defined by the WHO in 1982 as “a set of illnesses that originate or are stimulated by the air pollution in these closed spaces”.
Architecture for well-being
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, architecture has gained more limelight in the pursuit of user well-being by way of open and flexible, acoustically insulated, well-lit and ventilated spaces created with quality materials and equipped with the latest technology and hygiene measures. There are also other elements that are perhaps more difficult to assess and quantify but which have a clear impact on #health, such as those related to incorporating colour or greenery to improve mood and lower stress in closed spaces, or using anti-bacterial surfaces and fabrics that are able to remove damaging substances from the air.
Certified healthy spaces
The WELL certification is a dynamic points system for buildings and communities that identifies, measures and monitors the features of the built spaces and their impact on the #health and safety of those occupying the spaces, as well as their direct influence on people’s focus and productivity.
In October 2019, Actiu’s Technological Park in Castalla became the fifth complex in the world, the second in Europe and the first in Spain to receive the WELL v2 Platinum certification. Actiu’s headquarters became the first industrial building in the world to possess the WELL Platinum together with the LEED Platinum certification thanks to its sustainable architecture. Since then, #actiu has been even more committed to being pioneers for the healthcare and well-being of its employees.
Managing well-being
Actiu’s headquarters are currently amongst the 10 buildings in Europe to obtain the WELL v2 Platinum certification, and it has been gone one step further by recently implementing Gaia by Actiu, a smart platform that is able to measure and supervise aspects such as the temperature, humidity, sound, light, level of occupation, and the quality of the air and suspension particles PM 2.5 and PM 10.
The certification process developed by #actiu at its headquarters in Castalla to obtain the WELL v2 global standard also boasts the Best Practice award for the 2020 Best Facility Management, granted by IFMA Spain. A WELL ethos that highlights the importance of creating work spaces that boost well-being and which the company also conveys to its clients through its own experience and flexible, sustainable and healthy products that help to transform its workspaces.
