We sat down with Polina Maslova, commercial manager for JK Building Wellness to get to know the company and the ethos behind it.
What Is Building Wellness?
Building wellness is a concept that focuses on creating indoor environments that support the health, safety, and well-being of everyone inside. Nowadays, people spend most of their time indoors, especially at work. Ensuring that the air they breathe is clean, the surfaces they touch are safe, and the environment as a whole is healthy is crucial. Building wellness directly impacts productivity, morale, and overall quality of life.
Why Was JK Building Wellness Created?
At JK Building Wellness, we believe that prioritizing the well-being of our clients and their environments aligns perfectly with our mission of Changing People’s Lives, One Business at a Time. This belief inspired us to launch JK Building Wellness, an initiative designed to deepen our commitment to creating not just clean spaces, but healthier, more sustainable environments that benefit everyone who spends time within them.
What Is Your Mission?
Our mission is to transform the way people think about their indoor spaces. With JK Building Wellness, we aim to create healthier workplaces that support productivity, reduce absenteeism, and enhance overall well-being. We’re not just cleaning spaces; we’re contributing to healthier lives.
How Do You Plan On Achieving Your Mission?
By combining technology, such as indoor air quality monitoring, with the latest in cleaning innovations, like probiotic-based cleaning solutions. Our approach is holistic: we focus on the cleanliness and the wellness of every building occupant, ensuring both safety and comfort.
What Makes JK Building Wellness Special?
JK Building Wellness is about more than just maintaining a clean building. It's a full-circle approach to workplace health and safety. From the air we breathe to the surfaces we touch, we look at all aspects of wellness to ensure the people inside the building thrive.
Why Are People Your Focus?
Our primary focus is the well-being of the people inside the building. We believe that a healthy building equals healthy occupants. By prioritising air quality, hygiene, and wellness in every detail, we’re creating spaces that support people’s physical and mental well-being.
Who Are The Major Players In Building Wellness?
The building wellness space is shaped by several key standards, organisations, and frameworks. Leading certifications like the WELL Building Standard and Fitwel focus specifically on health and well-being within indoor environments. Additionally, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) are major global frameworks that emphasise sustainability and environmental impact, while also incorporating wellness-related factors such as indoor air quality, lighting, and thermal comfort. Other notable frameworks include Green Star (Australia and NZ), which evaluates both environmental sustainability and human health impacts, and RESET, a sensor-based certification focused on indoor air quality monitoring. These organisations and standards set the foundation for healthier, more sustainable buildings, and companies like Delos, IWBI, and AirSuite provide innovative tools and solutions to meet these rigorous requirements.
