As the U.S. commercial real estate market continues to prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency, property managers are looking for innovative ways to enhance tenant engagement while earning valuable green certification points through leading building certification systems.
Achieving certifications like LEED, WELL, and Fitwel can set properties apart, attract tenants, and align with ESG commitments. In fact, between 2019 and 2024, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) observed a 79% increase in LEED Operations and Maintenance (O+M) certifications, encompassing 215 million square feet of office space (Green Building News).
Meanwhile, the WELL Building Standard is expanding rapidly, now being implemented across more than 5 billion square feet of space in 130 countries as of early 2024.
At Alvéole, we make sustainability seamless by integrating urban beekeeping and biodiversity programs into commercial buildings. Our solutions not only create greener spaces but also help property managers achieve LEED certification, improve energy performance, and foster stronger community ties, while earning up to 45 certification points across seven performance categories related to human health, environmental sustainability, and tenant engagement.
