“No two people are the same, so why would we expect individuals to thrive in an environment which fails to meet their needs? We need to ensure the end user can perform at their optimum ability by providing flexible, user- control systems which promote a happy, healthy and sustainable working environment.” The WELL Building
Standard is the first building standard to concentrate on the health and wellbeing of people. This has now been aligned with BREEAM – the global sustainability standard. The two together, now provide a central point for linking both wellness and sustainability, to achieve best practice.
“Wellbeing must be at the forefront of design to ensure a productive workforce, not just for now, but for the future,” the BCIA adds.

by completing the 3 Peaks Challenge in just 13 hours and 26 minutes.
Steve Baker, Technical & Project Engineers Supervisor at Strebel recalled: “We knew it was going to be a real challenge for us as we are not the fittest or youngest. It was cold, wet, windy and very hard. But this was only for one day – a taster of what some homeless people must go through every day of their lives.” Other participants included staff from ICOM and the Energy and Utilities Alliance.
