UL VERIFIED HEALTHY BUILDING

KBS is dedicated to providing its tenants with healthy indoor work environments.

Working with UL, we are proud to announce that KBS has recently committed to the verification of over 14 million square feet of Class A office space in its client portfolio to achieve UL Verified Healthy Building for Indoor Air quality.

Working towards this achievement is a critical milestone in our commitment to deliver indoor workspaces with excellent indoor air quality that supports tenant health and well-being.

As a part of this program we will:

Demonstrate our commitment to the health and wellness of our tenants, their customers and visitors.

Undergo an annual review to confirm we maintain and advance indoor air quality.

Continue to advance our plans and policies to improve indoor air quality in the future.

Verified Healthy Building for Indoor Air

  • We rigorously assess Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and confirm plans to improve and maintain optimized IAQ

 

  • HVAC system and air quality tests verify proper air filtration and ventilation, resulting in reduced volatile compounds

Expert approved benchmarks

All thresholds are aligned with industry recognized third party organizations such as the EPA, NIOSH, WHO, CDC, ASHRAE, and IESNA.

Testing methodology

The methodology for designating sampling points are representative of typical operations and designed to align with other building standards such as LEED, WELL, and Fitwel.

Prioritizing your Safety in the Workplace

Filtration

Increased air flow, managed humidity and upgraded MERV-rated filters capture airborne pollutants, viruses, bacteria and more.

Access

Monitored building occupancy, stairwell access and key card implementation control foot traffic throughout the building. 

Cleaning

Trained staff and service partners provide routinely scheduled CDC- and WHO-approved cleaning methods in high touch point areas throughout the building.

Social Distancing and Communication

COVID-19 signage, required face masks and restricted use of conference rooms, training centers and tenant lounges limit the potential for spreading the virus.
