New open-source building standard seeks pioneer sites

CIOB member Dr Darren Allen DBA FCIOB MRICS, development manager with Genesis Property, is looking for buildings to become the first to promote a new ground-breaking building standard.

With a strategy to engineer safer built environments for people and organisations returning to their offices, the Immune Building Standard has been developed as an open-source global standard for the built environment. 

The standard is a set of measures, technical solutions and facility management practices to certify how built environments can withstand present and future health challenges and minimise the impact of a pandemic such as covid-19, and other bacteriological or toxicological threats.

The standard is inspired by technologies and procedures successfully applied in hospitals and ‘clean rooms’ and adapted for use in commercial real estate development.
