Intertek Hong Kong is helping companies to achieve better health and well-being in indoor environment


 
 
Performance-based building focuses on the target performance required for the business processes and the needs of the users. The physical environmental, personal, and behavioural factors are valuable to consider as they can have a great impact on the people and several standards related to healthy building having been created in the industry. WELL is the standard established by a group of experts, including doctors, scientists, and health professionals, to translate the expertise of buildings into practices to advance our health and well-being.

Intertek is one of the world’s first companies to be approved as a WELL Performance Testing Organization through the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) and Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) to provide independent, third-party verification for building projects pursuing WELL certification.

Success Case

Intertek Hong Kong has helped lots of companies to achieve better health and well-being in indoor environment through WELL v2 Certification. Three Garden Road is one of the good examples to illustrate the success of these well-being projects in Hong Kong.
 


Champion Real Estate Investment Trust - Three Garden Road
 
Three Garden Road, one of the landmark properties owned by Champion Real Estate Investment Trust, has received WELL Core Certification at Platinum level under the WELL Building Standard. The property has fulfilled the standard, including air, water, light, nourishment, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. While new buildings can be tailored in accordance with existing WELL guidance, it is more challenging for buildings in use to obtain the certifications as enhancement works are needed to meet WELL requirements. By achieving WELL Core Certification for the project, Champion REIT demonstrates its commitment to advance health and well-being for its own employees, and all the people who work for and do business with the tenants inside the project.
