A new era of indoor environments is here. We’re pioneering a future where our spaces prioritise people and nurture healthier, happier, and longer lives.

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 wellbeing.

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 wellbeing. 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 prioritising the health and wellbeing 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.

 

01 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.

 

05 SUBMIT

Finalise 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.

02 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.

06 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 BGIS Blue Zone Buildings™ plaque that you can display at your property and be added to the BGIS Blue Zone Buildings listing.

03 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.

07 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.

04 SOLUTION
