Innovating for Wellbeing

Last month, our managing director Paul McDonald, served on the international judging panel for the Global ESG Awards (https://globalesgawards.com/), with the worthy winners being announced at MIPIM. 

These awards, significant for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) within the construction and real estate sectors, highlighted the importance of sustainable innovation. The inclusion on the international panel is a nod to Paul’s pioneering role and commitment to the field, particularly demonstrated through his involvement with the WELL Building Institute’s Sound Concept Advisory (https://www.wellcertified.com/advisories/concept-advisories) group​.

Sonitus Systems specialises in offering hardware and software solutions for continuous environmental parameter monitoring, including indoor and outdoor noise and air quality. The dedication to improving environmental monitoring is clear in its wide range of products, such as the EM2030 Sound Level Monitors, Dustsens Particulate Monitor, and Sonitus Cloud dashboard, which provide real-time information essential for maintaining the health and safety of environments.

The WELL Building Institute (IWBI) plays a crucial role in advancing health and well-being in buildings, communities, and organisations worldwide. It administers the WELL Building Standard and the WELL Health-Safety Rating, among other initiatives, to create spaces that prioritise health and wellness. The IWBI has seen notable adoption rates of its standards, demonstrating the growing importance of health-focused building design and operation​​.

The collaboration between environmental monitoring companies and global organisations such as the IWBI is crucial in promoting sustainable and healthy environments. Through efforts of Sonitus Systems and the WELL Building Institute, the industry is moving towards a future where buildings not only minimise environmental impact but also actively contribute to occupant health and well-being. Paul’s role in these organisations show the crossovers of technological innovation, environmental stewardship, and human-centric design in creating sustainable, healthy spaces for future generations.

Sonitus Systems offers both the hardware and software for a range of environmental parameters on a continual basis, with real-time information available through our Sonitus Cloud dashboard.
