The working space layout has a direct impact on our well-being and productivity. With this in mind, in 2014, the renowned Well Building Institute created the WELL certification for buildings, which allows them to identify, measure and monitor the effects of built spaces on the health and well-being of its occupants.
The WELL standard supports the existence of strategies, programs and technologies to promote an active lifestyle in addition to minimizing exposure to air pollution. Ultimately, it is a certificate to ensure health and well-being.
WELL envisages occupational health as a complex system, a welfare state that is supported by many factors: air, water, good, lighting, motion, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind and community.
The LEED certificate (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is issued to credit the use of different strategies that certify that buildings are sustainable. With this certificate, all buildings of Merlin Hub guarantee a high level of sustainability, with elements that span from building material optimization to the management of natural resources. In other words, with the LEED certification, we guarantee that each building has the minimum possible impact on the environment and people.
Water use efficiency, energy efficiency, mobility or innovation are elements that are thoroughly analyzed to obtain the LEED certificate.
BREEAM is one of the most demanding real estate sustainability certificates in the world. It pursues the construction of more sustainable buildings to reduce the environmental impact and promote greater wellbeing of those who work inside the building. It assesses the impact in 10 categories (Management, Health and Wellbeing, Energy, Transportation, Water, Materials, Waste, Ecologic Use of Soil, Pollution and Innovation) and gives a final score after applying an environmental weighting that takes into account the relative significance of each impact area. Each of the Merlin Hub spaces has a BREEAM certificate.
Every facility that is part of Merlin Hub has a DIGA certificate. It is a certification that values the accessibility degree of workspaces. It analyzes issues like accesses or routes to get to the building. It also analyzes in detail the architectural barriers, both inside and outside, the quality, adaptability and equipment of the toilets, the clarity and quality of signage, vertical transport, telecommunications, furniture, and common spaces.
A leader in the US, the DIGA certification comes to Europe with MERLIN Properties. This certificate establishes connectivity standards for buildings to guarantee the greatest data upload and download speed in every space, including common areas and external spaces. With this certification, Merlin Hub incorporates connectivity as one of the fundamental criteria of excellence, which is particularly relevant to the imminent release of the 5G technology.
