About Healthy Buildings

Healthy Buildings works with building owners and managers to optimize indoor environments, increase operating efficiencies and lower business risks. The result is a more sustainable building and an improved bottom line for their clients. They do this with hands-on inspections of building systems, detailed reporting and world-class communications. Since 1980, Healthy Buildings has been dedicated to meeting the long term environmental and sustainability needs of the commercial real estate industry. With a pragmatic and problem solving approach to business minded sustainability they have grown to become a worldwide leader in their field. They build value into their clients' assets, retaining and attracting tenants and employees, improving productivity, reducing liability and branding them in the marketplace as sustainability leaders. They practice the same philosophy in their own facilities through their in-house sustainability initiative.

We became a B Corp because it was a sound business decision for us. It communicates to our clients that we are a changed, serious and committed firm in our field. It was a truly business minded decision consistent with the Triple Bottom Line model.

Healthy Buildings

Their clients are owners and managers of a virtual "Who's Who" of the commercial real estate industry. Drawing from deep technical expertise in indoor environmental quality, Healthy Buildings has vast experience drawn from environmental and sustainability studies and programs in thousands of different buildings. Their valued clients include property owners, building managers, developers, architects, engineers, and government agencies. Building types include office, medical, educational, institutional, and hospitality. They offer world-class service and unwavering client support while they build long-term strategic partnerships with building owners and managers. They understand what drives their clients; they commit to serving their needs.

The Change We Seek™

The commercial office building industry spends approximately $24 billion annually on energy and contributes 18 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. People spend more than 90% of their time inside buildings and use an average of 100 gallons of water a day. Healthy Buildings recognizes these facts as an opportunity, rather than a threat to our environment. By helping their clients use less energy and resources, and by improving the productivity of the people within those buildings through better indoor air quality, their clients can save operating expenses and attract new occupants to their buildings. The result is beneficial to the company, the clients and to the environment.
