KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 (Bernama) -- UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, announced the headquarters of Nan Shan Life Insurance Co Ltd (Nan Shan Life) has achieved the first UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Environment in Taiwan.

“This achievement shows Nan Shan Life’s commitment to creating and maintaining indoor environmental quality that supports the health, well-being and comfort of employees and visitors at its Taipei City headquarters,” said UL Solutions vice president and general manager of Enterprise Sustainability, Sean McCrady.

This achievement marks a significant milestone in promoting the importance of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in the region, as the commercial real estate industry is transforming to meet the evolving demands of tenants, employees and investors regarding healthy buildings.

According to a statement, the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Environment is UL Solutions’ most comprehensive healthy building assessment, which helps the industry address these demands.

Verified buildings meet rigorous performance criteria and have policies and plans in place for the continual advancement of IEQ, including indoor air, water, hygiene, lighting and acoustics.

Nan Shan Life stated that achieving this milestone provides its employees with science-backed verification that its Taipei City facility meets UL Solutions’ indoor environmental quality criteria and demonstrates the company’s strong commitment to promoting the health and well-being of employees.

To achieve the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark, Nan Shan Life’s headquarters building underwent a desktop audit, on-site visual inspections and performance testing to evaluate various building conditions.

The programme includes an annual comprehensive assessment coupled with surveillance at the mid-year point. The UL Verified Mark is delivered through the UL Solutions Marketing Claim Verification service.
