GIGA and Verdextra are delighted to invite you to join us for the launch of RESET in the UK. RESET is a scalable, technology driven building standard and certification program focused on real-time data for human health and wellbeing.

During the launch, you will hear from leading industry experts about the impact of health & wellbeing on the built environment as measured and communicated in real-time. You will learn about RESET and how it supports the industry’s leading practitioners.

Event Overview

The spaces we occupy are no longer static containers, but systems that must react with us just as we react to them. Slight changes in our surroundings, be they temperature, light, air or other indoor environment quality parameters, can have drastic effects on our mental, physical and emotional well-being, affecting health and productivity. And while these effects can be subtle and subconscious, it encourages designers to direct their consciousness to creating buildings and spaces that are accountable to their inhabitants.

Pioneering workplaces around the globe have turned to workplace design experts to maximize their employees’ well being and, in turn, their companies’ productivity and success. These same healthy design principles can be applied anywhere, from the offices and homes, to schools and public buildings. Foresighted urban planners are even looking to implement healthy design on large scales in order to build healthier, happier cities.

GIGA and Verdextra partner to launch RESET in the UK

RESET is an affordable, scalable, technology driven building standard and certification program focused on real-time data for human health and wellbeing. It is used to assess and communicate the health performance of building interiors, both new and existing.

With people representing 90% of operational costs for most of today’s companies, creating healthy, safe and productive interiors for occupants has become a critical concern for tenants and building owners.

Tracking indicators that impact both productivity and health, RESET provides critical insight into the ROI of healthy buildings, positively impacting the ability of companies to attract tenants and talent, as well as the financial value of real-estate.

Merging intelligent building technology, cloud databases and healthy building science, the RESET Standard extends to standards for hardware, data-communication, installation, maintenance and operations, while empowering scale and affordability.

Developed in Asia and launched in 2013, RESET was developed to guide stakeholders in creating healthy buildings within the world's most challenging environments. Applicable to indoor spaces globally, RESET has since grown internationally and as such, is the world’s first building standard to do so from Asia.

RESET has been adopted by many of the world's largest property developers, financial institutions and tech companies.

Verdextra bring in-depth experience of managing both buildings, software and data projects, providing a unique collaborative point for the launch of RESET in the UK launch. The week of 6th March will include a number of activities, including an evening introductory presentation and a full day training for those wishing to become an Accredited Solutions Provider (ASP).
