How is your organization's workplace design impacting your employees? And more importantly, how does that impact your bottom line?

This report compiles and analyzes the growing body of scientific data connecting High Performance Building design to three key occupant impact areas:

1. Occupant Productivity
   
2. Talent Retention
   
3. Employee Health and Wellness

The findings provide concrete evidence for prioritizing design strategies that optimize the indoor environment for enhanced occupant performance and experience. The resulting financial metrics allow owner-occupants and tenants to make the business case for High Performance Buildings.

"This body of work provides the important financial connection between  occupant health and returns that should motivate the real estate industry to make wellness a priority."

"This paper shows how the additional investment in the design and construction of High Performance Buildings is insignificant when occupant benefits  are considered in the full economic model."

"The magnitude of benefits and low risk of execution outlined in stok’s report should have every employer, building owner, and design professional re-examining the way they do business and treat real estate as a driver of business success."
