Fitwel

Global (US origin) · Center for Active Design

A health-focused certification born at the US CDC, using points-based scorecards grounded in public health research. Lighter-touch than WELL; product choices play a smaller, indirect role.

Commitment

1

AIA Materials Pledge

North America · American Institute of Architects

A commitment framework for architecture firms to prioritise human health, social equity, ecosystem health, climate health, and circularity in material selection — the same five lenses as the CMF.
