Fitwel v2.1 vs 2.0 Comparison Tool?

Harry - Fitwel did post a summary of updates for v2.1. I've attached it. I've looked at v2.1 for our office space after having also reviewed it for 2.0 a couple of years ago. We lose a few points under v2.1 but that's mostly because v2.1 has clarified details and strategies and we fall short under the additional scrutiny. Here are also some notes from the last advisory council meeting with highlights from v2.1:  Fitwel 2.1 updates: Workplace and residential new strategies: Incentivizing Transit  (only Workplace).   This was very impactful on inspiring people to use transit. Efficiency Parking – used to be only carpool, but now more comprehensive. Smoke-free strategy. Main pathway is to have policies refer to both tobacco-free and smoke-free. Alternative pathway is smoke-free only. Someone asked about “tobacco-free” versus “smoke-free” because of new smoking sources. This language is evolving, as smokeless tobacco is popular in Europe. Shifting walkability strategies were separated out into credits: Main Entrance Amenities, and Active Pedestrian Areas. These different elements can promote health. Stair Safety – from Multi-family residential, added to workplace because of older workers. IAQ testing and sharing of results – shows impact of implementing an IAQ policy. Just testing itself can motivate new practices and benchmarking for future improvements. Sharing makes owners accountable and educates tenants. Thermal control – about emerging evidence about how thermal comfort enhances mental health and productivity. People that have control over environment are happier. Crop-share drop-off: increased utilization to access healthier foods and local produce. Health programming: Active innerspaces with rich programming enhances occupant well-being and participation and shifts toward healthy behaviors. Occupancy satisfaction survey – to get feedback from occupants. Stakeholder collaboration teams – was already happening within the community and the larger building / tenant. How can the building better serve occupants / be optimized? Water Quality testing – Encourages confirmation of potable water. Remember this is a global standard. Emergency Procedures (Section 12)– focused on resilience via Emergency Preparedness plans. How to react in an emergency.
