关于 RESET®
Our mission is to define and measure the ability of real-estate to have a positive impact on health and sustainability.
Our mission is built into our name.
As an acronym for Regenerative, Ecological, Social and Economic Targets, RESET defines performance targets for regeneration. This transformative approach requires the ability to measure results, which RESET enables by providing an independent third-party standard.
By setting targets and measuring results, we move the industry from rhetoric to science and opinions to numbers. Our approach helps owners build and operate better projects. It helps investors minimize risk and optimize value. Most importantly, it helps ensure future generations will be able to thrive.
我们的故事
The RESET Standard evolved from a profound dissatisfaction with existing green building standards and a need to measure if green buildings were having a positive impact. As designers, builders, engineers and project owners, we found that existing design standards were not delivering on results. This was primarily due to design and engineering consultants not having visibility on how projects actually perform.
RESET pioneered the development of performance standards measured in real-time, catalyzing an industry shift away from prescriptive design standards. Since inception, RESET has prioritized the development of solutions and the training of experts focused on engineering, measuring and delivering real-estate projects that move our industry towards having a positive impact on global health & sustainability.
The RESET Standard is developed and administered by GIGA; an international organization that combines the development of building standards with research and cloud technology.
The Global RESET Standard
In 2012, TED Talks' Global Tour captured the beginnings of the RESET Standard. Born as a genome project for green buildings, RESET has stayed true to the ethos of mastering one area of impact at a time, focused on environmental regeneration.
