What Makes a BGIS Blue Zone Building™?

By reframing how we view our buildings through the lens of four essential pillars—Consume, Connect, Caring, and Condition—we unlock the potential to transform them from passive structures into active participants in our health, community, and well-being.

01 Consume

The spaces we inhabit must be more than mere shelters—they should be stewards of our health. Our buildings need to address the essentials: clean air, safe water, nutritious food, and a healthy environment. By thoughtfully approaching how we consume these resources indoors, we can create environments that not only sustain life but elevate it.

02 Condition

Our sedentary lifestyle is taking a toll, enabled and bolstered by spaces designed to be static. By promoting movement, ensuring safety, and supporting active, healthy living, our environments can counteract the dangers of inactivity. Let’s create spaces that inspire us to move, protect our health, and set the standard for a safer, healthier future. It’s time to condition our buildings to be as dynamic as the lives we aim to lead.

03 Connect

Our mental health and social connections are as vital as the air we breathe. The spaces we create should foster a sense of community, encourage meaningful interactions, and prioritize mental well-being. Let’s design buildings that bring people together, support mental health, and build stronger communities. When we connect, we thrive—and our environments should reflect and amplify this truth.

04 Caring

Caring is more than just a sentiment; it’s an action. Our buildings should communicate care by prioritizing the health and well-being of everyone who steps inside. This means designing with empathy, creating spaces that are not just functional but nurturing. By focusing on the needs of people first, we can transform our buildings into places that genuinely care for those within them.

How to become a BGIS Blue Zone Building™

With the BGIS Blue Zone Buildings™ framework, your path to a healthier, more sustainable space is clear and supported every step of the way. A BGIS account lead will guide you through the entire process, from start to finish. They can also provide tailored recommendations for Blue-friendly solutions, ensuring it meets the highest standards of health, sustainability, and innovation.

Identify

Make a game plan and get started.

The first step is to plan out your Blue Zone transformation. Identify target buildings and your long term goals for their improvement. It’s also a good idea to schedule building tests for key health indicators such as air quality, radon, and more.

Checklist

Find out where you sit on the scale.

The Blue Zone Buidings Management Program outlines 8 healthy management features related to air, water, and environmental quality. A worksheet for each is available and provides clear criteria along with detailed specifications, resources, and required documentation.

Testing

Discover your building’s health.

Testing is a crucial step in evaluating your building’s overall health. This assessment identifies areas that need attention, from HVAC systems to drinking water. By understanding the current state, you can make informed decisions around the adjustments you can make for your building.

Solution

Make your building Blue

Based on the test results, a BGIS account lead will work with you to develop proactive strategies to make your building healthier. From air filtration systems to cleaning products, we help you find solutions that fit with your building’s unique needs and features.

Submit

Finalize your documentation.

Once you’ve implemented Blue solutions, gather the required documentation and fill out the final version of your checklist to submit to BGIS. If you have questions, we’re here to help fill in the gaps.

Recognition

Celebrate your big milestone.

Congratulations! With a Blue Zone Buildings™ recognition, you’ve achieved a huge step in creating a better future. You will receive a Blue Zone Buildings™ plaque that you can display at your property and be added to the BGIS Blue Zone Buildings listing.

Improve

Continue the journey.

Recognition isn’t a destination; it’s a commitment to a better future. There is always an opportunity to improve and innovate, ensuring your spaces continually adapt to meet the evolving needs of those who use them.
