Establish a stakeholder collaboration protocol

Rationale: Implementing and distributing a comprehensive protocol that identifies stakeholders and regularly solicits their feedback provides a forum for occupants to voice their concerns and for management to incorporate these concerns into operations — increasing feelings of empowerment among occupants as well as the efficiency of building design, operations, and programming.

For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
