Fitwel is the world’s first health certification system to optimize the design and operations of residential buildings, offices, and commercial projects with a focus on the health and well-being of its occupants.
Created by the Center for Active Design, a leading nonprofit organization that uses design to foster healthy and engaged communities.
The Fitwel Scorecard includes 55+ evidence-based design and operational strategies that enhance buildings by addressing a broad range of health behaviors and risks. Each strategy is associated with unique point allocations, based on the strength of associated evidence and the demonstrated impact on occupant health. This means that strategies with stronger, multi-faceted impacts receive more points.
