The WELL Community StandardTM will be a district-scale rating system centered exclusively on health and wellness and aims to set a new global benchmark for healthy communities. The pilot is planned to be launched later this year.

Commercial Energy Storage: Sustainability’s Low-Hanging Fruit

It is easy to talk about sustainability, especially when the timeframes for achieving quantifiable results are comfortably far in the future. It’s much harder to actually implement feasible sustainability programs that will have a significant business impact. A survey of more than 3,000 executives by the MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found that while nearly 90 percent of respondents consider a sustainability strategy essential to remaining competitive, only 60 percent have such a strategy. And only 25 percent have developed a clear business case for sustainability.
