British lighting control systems manufacturer Prolojik Limited joins the healthy buildings trend and obtains the IMMUNE™ certification for its headquarters
7 May 2021. Healthy by Design Building Institute (HDBI) has awarded the UK based manufacturer of high-quality lighting control systems Prolojik Limited the IMMUNE Building Standard™ certification for its headquarters located in Buckinghamshire, UK. The office building owned by Prolojik Limited, a contributor for the IMMUNE™ standard, achieved the IMMUNETM-Strong label, following the company’s commitment to create a healthier workplace environment for its employees through the implementation of health & safety measures.
This is a clear success indicator of the first open-source standard designed for office buildings and adaptable to any built environment, aiming to increase the resilience of indoor spaces against current and future health threats.
“The IMMUNE Building Standard™ is gaining momentum and sees great interest from leaders across the world who seek to reduce Covid-19 effects on built environments and to sustainably contribute to creating the healthy buildings of the future. We congratulate Prolojik Limited for showing vision in the design process of the standard and leadership by being an early adopter of the standard in their workplace”, said Liviu Tudor, founder of Genesis Property and president of the European Property Federation.
Prolojik Limited’s headquarters now includes a coherent, science and technology-based set of measures from the 135 IMMUNE™ criteria recommended for a Healthy by Design indoor environment. Among measures recommended by IMMUNE™ are high class air and water filtering systems and strict hygiene requirements, an IMMUNE™ Quarantine Room acting as a dedicated area in case of immediate need to isolate people at risk, and an Emergency IMMUNE™ Warehouse which is a rapid logistic system for immediate pandemic response.
“Prolojik is delighted to be a collaborator to the IMMUNETM standard as well as achieving IMMUNETM-Strong certification for our headquarters. The principles embodied in the IMMUNE Building Standard TM align with our own operational and strategic aims to support the safe and measured return to the built environment, for our own business as well as the clients we support”, said Asela Rodrigo, founder and managing director at Prolojik Limited.
The IMMUNE™-Strong certification of Prolojik Limited’s headquarters is based on a complex assessment process conducted by Build Green, an independent authorised building assessor and a contributor to the development of the standard.
