YOU CAN'T MANAGE WHAT YOU DON'T MEASURE

Citadel EHS works hand-in-hand with building owners, managers and industry-leading consulting teams to support ESG compliance with green building standards, including sustainability and well-being requirements for the built environment. We provide technical assessments and site performance testing to help organizations comply with each standard in addition to requirements for industry rating systems.

Our goal is to arm the project team with technical information to focus on improving the occupant experience. Our performance testing can also be used to support larger ESG or portfolio-wide goals and reporting.

SERVICES PERFORMED

WELL Building Standard

  • WELL Performance Verification (WELL PV)
    • The WELL Building Standard is focused on Health & Wellbeing in the built environment. The performance-driven certification process requires on-site testing and observations as a formal milestone for recognition, called WELL Performance Verification, that is completed by contracting directly with an approved Performance Testing Organization like Citadel. This scope of work includes sampling and site observations for all Preconditions requiring on-site verification, as well as any pursued Optimizations.

BREEAM Certification

  • BREEAM In-Use Assessments
    • BREEAM In-Use is a comprehensive recognition scheme focused on high performance existing buildings, that requires an on-site observation from a licensed BREEAM In-Use assessor.
