Health & Wellness

Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors.

By applying science- and consensus-based best practices, GBI’s Green Globes Distinction in Health & Wellness recognizes the opportunities that can create a better built environment for all.

Resilience

For every $1 spent on resilient building design, $4 to $11 is saved in post-disaster recovery (FEMA).

Prepare, adapt, and recover from stressors such as climate change & natural disasters—protecting lives, reducing recovery costs, and supporting community stability.
