The CalEdison DTLA Earns Fitwel Viral Response Certification

The CalEdison DTLA is proud to announce its achievement of the Fitwel Viral Response Certification for 2024, underscoring its commitment to health and safety.

This is the first year CalEdison has achieved this notable certification. Fitwel, the leading health-focused building certification system, introduced this designation to address infectious disease mitigation and affirm property owners’ commitments to providing healthy environments for all tenants, staff, and visitors who spend time at their properties.

Fitwel’s Viral Response module, developed in collaboration with public health experts and real estate companies, addresses the complex challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious respiratory diseases. It includes a comprehensive set of strategies aimed at reducing viral transmission and ensuring the well-being of occupants. Key measures implemented at The CalEdison DTLA include enhanced indoor air quality through optimized ventilation systems, rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols, and outbreak preparedness planning. The building’s ventilation systems have been upgraded to augment the circulation of fresh air and filtration of pollutants, minimizing the risk of airborne transmission of viruses. High-touch and common areas are regularly sanitized as well through the building’s disinfection protocols to reduce the potential for transmission of pathogens. These measures are designed to protect against current health threats and future-proof the building against potential outbreaks. This certification highlights The CalEdison DTLA’s dedication to fostering a resilient and healthy environment for tenants and visitors.
