** Incoming! v3 Revisions are on the way! **

All Workplace Scorecards:

In response to your feedback, we will be providing the following clarification: Updated AirRated alignment language.

MTBB:

Implementation will only be required in base building areas.

Please note, the below requirements and compliance documentation will be updated soon to reflect v3 changes. You can find more information on these revisions in a Change Log that will be available on the Help Center on December 10, 2024. ________________________________________________________________________

Conduct regular indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments

Rationale: Regularly testing air quality levels increases awareness of specific contaminants and indoor air conditions, highlighting potential concerns and allowing for remediation — which can reduce risk of dizziness and respiratory issues including asthma and COPD.

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