As the property industry increasingly prioritises ESG principles, wellness is emerging as a key component of sustainable building design. But how can we effectively benchmark, measure, and achieve wellness in buildings? These critical questions will be explored in the Wellness in Buildings: Benchmark, Measure, Achieve panel discussion at Reset25 on Thursday 15 May 2025.
This session will feature industry experts Clare Gallagher, National Sustainability Manager at Built, and Bobby Shen, Senior Manager – Existing Buildings at the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC). They will share insights into the latest tools and strategies for assessing and improving wellness in buildings, equipping attendees with practical knowledge to enhance their projects.
Why Wellness Matters
The built environment significantly impacts human health and well-being. Factors such as air quality, lighting, and thermal comfort influence not only occupant comfort but also productivity and cognitive function. As organisations integrate ESG practices, prioritising wellness in buildings is essential.
