In the context of fitwel assessments, who are considered regular occupants in a multi-tenant building?

In the context of Fitwel assessments, regular occupants in a multi-tenant building include building staff and occupants of controlled areas. This is because regular occupants are defined as individuals who utilize the building on a consistent and ongoing basis, which encompasses not only the tenants residing in individual units but also the staff who maintain and manage the property. Controlled areas refer to spaces within the building that are accessible to certain individuals, further broadening the scope of who is considered a regular occupant.

This comprehensive definition aligns with Fitwel's emphasis on creating environments that support health and well-being for all people who use the space regularly, highlighting the importance of considering both residents and those who work within the building. This approach ensures that the health and wellness impacts of the building's features are evaluated from the perspective of all regular users, not just tenants who occupy their units.
