With an increase in demand for low-rise residential housing ranging from student accommodation, town homes, to garden-style apartments, there is now a health-focused certification tailored to the unique needs of these developments with the new Fitwel Low-Rise Residential Scorecard!
As of July 14th, projects can now be fully certified under the new scorecard, it is intended for low-rise residential assets that are:
- Compromised of one or more low-rise residential buildings (2-6 stories);
- Located on contiguous residential land;
- Are used exclusively for residential purposes; and,
- Are owned or managed by a single entity.
This is a great opportunity to meet market demand and ESG expectations to prioritise health and wellness.
The scorecard has been released as ‘beta’ and will likely remain in this phase for 1-2 years. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of the new scorecard through real-world use and lead the market.
