Fitwel Leaders

Fitwel is advocated for on a number of levels. While the Center for Active Design pushes the standard as a whole, there are different tiers in how the design industry and professionals can be involved. There are over 2,400 Ambassadors representing over 50 countries as advocates for Fitwel.

These Ambassadors are also involved in Champion firms. Firms such as Perkins + Will pledge to incorporate Fitwel into their projects, furthering its reach into the global market of design.

The Fitwel Ambassadors

are well versed in evidence-based connections between a”design and health.

Fitwel Ambassadors

Individuals can learn more about Fitwel through the Ambassador Course. These leaders have the training and knowledge to integrate health and wellness into the design and operation of a building.

Upon completion of the Fitwel Ambassador course, professionals can sit for an exam. As a more accessible standard as a whole, the Fitwel Ambassador training and exam are offered online. While preparation is still necessary, the course guides professionals through the standard. At the conclusion of the one hour prerecorded video, professionals sit for a 50 question test. A passing score of 80%, or at least 40 questions, is required to become a Fitwel Ambassador.

Fitwel Champions

Fitwel Ambassadors are at the individual level as active leaders in the healthy building movement. Fitwel Champions, on the other hand, are companies that pledge to use the standard across their portfolio. Essentially, Champion firms commit to at least 6 projects to be Fitwel certified in a 12 month period.

Fitwel Affiliates

Fitwel Affiliates are for companies that cannot commit to the 6 projects in a 12 month period. Instead, these firms advance the movement through an annual contribution of $3,000.
