What is the UL Verified Healthy Building Program?

UL Verified Healthy Buildings is a third-party verification program that evaluates indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and building health performance.

Developed by UL Solutions, the program assesses measurable factors that influence occupant wellbeing, including indoor air quality, water quality, ventilation, HVAC maintenance, and facility management policies.

Unlike design-based certifications, UL Verified Healthy Buildings emphasizes performance verification, using testing, inspection, and documented operational practices to confirm that buildings provide healthier indoor environments.

UL Verified Healthy Buildings Programs

UL Verified Healthy Buildings offers verification pathways for both existing properties and new developments.

Existing Buildings

For buildings in operation seeking independent verification of indoor environmental quality and health-focused management practices.

This programme focuses on:

  • Indoor air quality testing and monitoring

  • Ventilation performance

  • Water quality

  • Lighting quality

  • Acoustics

  • HVAC system maintenance

  • Facility management policies

 

Verification provides reassurance to occupants, tenants, and visitors that building health performance is measured, documented, and independently reviewed.

New Construction

For projects in design and construction that aim to deliver verified healthy indoor environments from day one.

This pathway integrates health-focused performance criteria into building systems, materials selection, and operational planning, ensuring that indoor air and environmental quality standards are achieved at handover.

 

By embedding verification requirements early, project teams can align design intent with measurable post-occupancy outcomes.
