As an office owner, what has the biggest impact on your operational costs? You might be surprised to find out it\u2019s not the energy savings, but the health of your employees – and their mental health in particular. How to use smart solutions to make people more active and fit was the subject of the webinar \u201cA healthy mind in a healthy office\u201d. \u201cWhen we\u2019re allowed back in the office, I hope we hide the lift away in a corner somewhere.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health trend for the coming years<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n \n
\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/h2>\n\t

Participants in the webinar \u201cA healthy mind in a healthy office\u201d discovered how a healthy building makes an important contribution to the well-being of employees and visitors.\u00a0Initiators Alexandra Jurgens-Boot of the Blue Building Institute and Bram Adema of CFP Green Buildings kicked off the event with a talk about the importance of a healthy environment. The pair indicated that health will be the biggest trend for the next 5 to 10 years: \u201cIt’s only natural that we pay full attention to that today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthy building from practice: the World Port Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n \n
\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/h2>\n\t

The focus early on was on what a healthy built environment looks like in practice. The World Port Center<\/a> at the Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam has undergone a metamorphosis: the entrance, the car park, and many other aspects of the complex all have a brand new look. Unifore is involved as asset manager in this project, which has been awarded the BREEAM-NL Excellent<\/a> and WELL Gold<\/a> labels.\u00a0Erik Dijkema explains: \u201cTen years ago, we were still mainly talking about how to save energy in buildings. The next chapter was BREEAM-NL, with which we could substantiate and embed energy improvements. Then, as we approached the apex of the whole movement, we started WELL, aimed at improving the health and well-being of building users.\u201d<\/p>\n\t

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Health: a fundamental requirement<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unifore’s enthusiasm for working on health in buildings was sparked by the Port Authority, a tenant in the World Port Center. \u201cPartly thanks to them, we discovered that this topic is a fundamental requirement for office users. For us, that also justifies the greater commitment to health.\u201d What value is created by striving for a healthy environment in buildings? \u201cNowadays tenants have different requirements for housing. From an investor’s point of view, it is interesting to attract tenants who have a focus on sustainability and health.\u201d Dijkema says that sustainability is easy to incorporate into a business case. \u201cSo whatever you do, just do it,\u201d he advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impulses from the working environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n \n
\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/h2>\n\t

Erik Scherder, Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, got the participants excited with his enthusiasm about how your brain is influenced by impulses from the working environment. \u201cIt would be great if everyone worked in buildings that put an active lifestyle first. Of course, a building is about elements such as air, light and sound, but it\u2019s also about movement.\u201d He got the participants thinking about their roles: \u201cYou build for the quality of the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n\t

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hiding the lift<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n \n
\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/h2>\n\t

In the office environment, a focus on movement is more important than ever. \u201cThe pandemic before the one we are in now was that of the sitting culture. Scherder knows very well that offices do not generally lead to an active lifestyle. \u201cBecause everyone just keeps sitting where they are, on their office chairs, obesity is a constant threat. Millions of people a year die from the pandemic of ‘sitting’, and we just aren\u2019t showing enough concern about that.” According to him, buildings have a more important role to play in activating visitors and employees. \u201cNudging is something that should be used to get them to move,\u201d he advises. \u201cEntice users to a healthier lifestyle by making it attractive to exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n\t

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Designing for the brain<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In practice, this means, among other things, a different way of designing. \u201cArchitects should ensure that the lift is hidden away, off the beaten track, so it becomes attractive to take the stairs. But there is also a lot to be optimised in existing buildings. You could, for example, decorate the stairs with LED lights and greenery, like we did at the university. It\u2019s like taking a forest walk every time you go upstairs, and people love it. As the real estate sector becomes more focused on getting users active, we are building the sustainability of our brains.\u201d He sees a tough challenge ahead for the construction and real estate sector. \u201cYou have to really get creative with everybody\u2019s ideas, so my advice is to just get started. And by challenging yourself, you also keep your brain healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
