MithunASeattle140Materials2 to 3 stars (pursuit)XWhile everyone is working from home, or living where they work, our Mithun Seattle office is currently undergoing renovation and we are going for a Living Building v4 Materials Petal. We won't have final certification until summer 2022.
While these are not national green building certifications, this might fit into an "other" category for local business certifications. Our San Francisco office has a Green Business certification from the SF Environment Green Business Program and our Los Angeles office is also recognized as a Green Business in the City of Los Angeles Green Business program at a Tier 2 Innovator Level.
In all three locations we have tenant leases. We looked at Fitwel, believe we were at 2-star level, in guiding a refresh of the San Francisco office space, though given the small number of years left on the lease it did not make sense at that time to certify.

(Several of our US offices are currently working towards renewing their LEED/WELL certifications with recent renovations)
- Our Shanghai office has achieved RESET certification
- We recently signed up for the World Green Building Councils Advancing Net Zero Goal which targets Net Zero by 2030 for your organizations entire operations
- Each office may engage in local programs to advance sustainability with their local Mayors offices and these initiatives vary on a case by case basis.

DLR GroupAEGlobalVariesSome officesSome officesAll group officesAll DLR Group offices have achieved Reset Certification as part of our Healthy Spaces initiative.
I am happy to connect our Air Quality guru to the group to discuss more in regards to Air Quality efforts. Everyone has access to the air monitoring data for their office which has prompted a lot of observations around the group from impacts of construction in the building (not even on our floor); how to mitigate issues; impacts of forest fires and more. It has been a tool for all our offices to work on improving IAQ and when there has been a spike beyond our control we used it as a tool to send staff home.
Other offices have received LEED or pursued other certifications such as WELL but this initiative has been our most successful to gain awareness and adoption to achieve optimal IAQ.

DPRCAustinXXXLove this topic and seeing what everyone has. I need to do a more full census of DPR as I suspect we have a few that are LEED certified to some level that aren't included below.
We've built two petal-certified projects, though not for any of our own spaces (yet!).

Elkus ManfrediABoston250SilverInvestigatingInvestigatingElkus Manfredi Architects office in Boston is LEED CI Silver.
We moved into a space almost as it was over 6 years ago and made very few changes or updates, it was challenging to get the Silver, there was not a lot of reward for doing a minimal renovation and simple fit-out. We are just starting to informally investigate WELL and fitwel since we have made recent updates due to the pandemic.

JacobsAECGlobalVariesMost offices Gold or Platinum3 Star
(in Boston and Philly)
WELL Gold
(in Boston)
Jacobs has pursued LEED certification for many of our offices where appropriate – most are in the Gold level and some at Platinum. We have not yet pursued LBC or Petal certification, but our Boston Office recently achieved LEED Gold, WELL Gold and Fitwel 3 star.
For a few of our offices that are not doing extensive renovation (such as Philly), we pursued Fitwel since it it focuses less on design and more on process and operations.

MSR DesignAMinneapolisMaterials, Equity & BeautyOur office in Minneapolis is a 10,000 sf TI, and we’re working through final comments in pursuit of LBC 3.1 Petal certification for Materials, Equity and Beauty. We got close on Health.
We have a lot of lessons learned about process as well. I’d love a roundtable with others who have done this on their own offices. Perhaps it could turn into a presentation for the SDL group.

We are also looking into WELL Air Quality Monitoring feature as a framework for that topic (RESET & the LEED credit seemed overly stringent for our needs).
