Welcome to the Great Indoors!
The Healthy Building Alliance was launched by USGBC California to create a commitment that building owners, tenants, & individuals can make to provide healthy, resilient space to live, work, & play.
Did you know that:
- Indoor Air Quality can be 2-5 times worse than outdoor air quality?
- 50% of illnesses affecting workforces are related work environment conditions?
- Employees that are satisfied with their work environment are 16% more productive, 18% more likely to stay in their job, and 30% more attracted to their company?
This is not a certification, this is a promise that anyone can make to provide healthy space for your employees, tenants, family members, and ultimately yourself. You make the commitment, you make the decisions on how you get there, and we help guide you on your journey.
Our goal is to instill ownership, generate valuable data, & provide resources to support the journey for all Angelenos to experience healthy environments. The commitment is:
Healthy buildings create healthier people, who are more productive, sick less often, more resilient in the face of life’s challenges, happier, and perform better across the board.
The Healthy Building Alliance helps you collect invaluable data through: Tenant Surveys, Indoor Air Quality Sensors, & Water Testing about yourself and the environment around you.
