Landlords lure workers back with new health certificate

.....JPMorgan’s upcoming 1,425-foot-tall tower at 270 Park Ave. is targeting the full WELL certification.
“In the past, it was LEED,” said James Dean, the co-founder of HVAC designer Oxygen8, referring to the certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. “But right now people care about a healthy work environment.”
His company is helping commercial spaces make the WELL grade and reducing their carbon footprint by outfitting them with low-profile, ductless electric heating, ventilation and air-cooling systems.
They feature a special membrane that uses less energy and retains a higher humidity — which helps to fight viruses — and still provides 100 percent outdoor air pushed through a MERV 13 filter (a high standard for filters).
