Participants achieve the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark by verifying building health and IEQ.

To earn the UL Verification Mark, the buildings undergo a rigorous, science-based assessment which includes visual on-site inspections and performance testing to evaluate a range of building conditions. To maintain verification, the properties will undergo on-site inspections twice a year to ensure excellent indoor environmental quality performance.
