SME: Blake Jackson

What is Fitwel®? Fitwel® is a new building certification standard, promoted by the CDC and the Center for Active Design, which aspires to help design and construction professionals, building operators, and occupants of buildings to create and maintain facilities which promote evidence-based practices to promote better health outcomes. Fitwel® seeks practical, economical interventions to promote health, productivity, and healthcare savings over time through its web-based scorecard with 60 benchmark criteria over 7 health impact categories: food, safety, physical activity, well-being, social equity, absenteeism, and community health. This interactive online course will help you learn how to use and implement this new standard, as well as how it is similar and different from other ratings systems like WELL®
