Building operators rapidly adopt streamlined green, health building pathways
This story was originally published on Facilities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Facilities Dive newsletter. In June, the International WELL Building Institute, which provides certifications for health and well-being in buildings, announced that a streamlined pathway for projects pursuing both LEED and WELL certification has seen rapid uptake since being unveiled in April 2023. Total project space using the pathway more than tripled in less than two years, from 80 million to 250 million square feet, the organization says. The pathway is the result of a partnership between IWBI and the U.S. Green Building Council, which operates the building sustainability-focused LEED. It streamlines documentation for projects pursuing both certifications at the same time or that have already earned one of the certifications. More than 100 projects spanning 15 million square feet have achieved both LEED and WELL certifications using the pathway, reflecting a strong rise in global demand for the streamlined certification process, IWBI says. 'Better alignment between rating systems is critical to enabling building owners and project teams to pursue ambitious goals and demonstrate exceptional commitment and leadership in the built environment,' Peter Templeton, president and CEO of USGBC, said in a statement. That alignment is evidenced by LEED v5, the latest version of the green building certification. LEED for Building Operations and Maintenance, or O+M, which applies to existing building projects focused on operational improvements, has about a quarter of its 26 points dedicated to indoor environmental quality, a key component of occupant health and well being. The easier path to obtain certifications centered on health and well-being is in contrast to tougher requirements for obtaining the highest level of green certifications. The new LEED v5, for example, has increased the number of certification points allocated to carbon-cutting measures. 'LEED v5 puts greater focus on sustainable building operations, Annalise Dum, senior vice president of sustainability at JLL, said in an analysis. 'Credits for plans to improve performance, alongside new categories for resilience and human impact, indicate the shift towards longer-term, dynamic sustainability measures.' There was also a large push to add support for operations and maintenance staff, Kat Wagenschutz, director of existing buildings at USGBC, told Facilities Dive. 'We made some shifts as far as there's an operations assessment and policy, and we added a prerequisite for human impact,' said Wagenschutz. 'There's [also] a credit for ensuring worker safety and training. We're not just looking at resource efficiency. There is a strong health component that is reflected in O+M in the points weighting.' Market emphasis on operational performance is increasingly driven by the demands of corporate tenants who are seeking space that support their net-zero commitments, JLL says in its analysis. Measures needed to obtain certification under the newest versions of LEED, and other rating systems like BREEAM – a UK sustainability assessment certification – may increase upfront costs and technical complexity, JLL says. 'We wanted to define Platinum [the highest LEED level] not only by achieving 80 points, but that these projects are really leaders in the areas of decarbonization and energy efficiency. So you'll see that in the rating system,' Wagenschutz said. For example, both LEED and BREEAM award points for advanced, more expensive HVAC systems that can adapt to changing energy demands and reduce operational carbon emissions; they also recognize the use of more environmentally friendly construction materials with lower embodied carbon footprints, requiring organizations to 'rethink procurement strategies to source new equipment and materials,' JLL says. But the pay-off is substantial and must be considered alongside capital expenses at the onset of projects, JLL says.

Disaster relief done — what next?
Presented by WELL, LOOK AT THAT: It wasn't exactly a unicorn, but something relatively uncommon happened last week — Congress enacted a narrow, uncontroversial tax provision. With good reason, too: The Senate cleared a bipartisan measure, H.R. 517 (119), by unanimous consent Thursday that would offer quicker relief from tax filing deadlines for those affected by natural disasters, in large part in response to the deadly flooding in Texas. In essence, the measure empowers the IRS to offer filing relief to taxpayers in areas where a state has declared an emergency. Until now, the agency could delay filing deadlines only for disasters declared by the federal government, which can take longer to materialize. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), one of the measure's sponsors, noted that only one county in Texas had received a federal declaration as of Thursday, while a state emergency had been proclaimed in more than 20 counties. The House had passed the measure unanimously in March, so the Senate's action last week sends it to President Donald Trump's desk. 'This bill will allow those impacted by a natural disaster to have certainty that tax filing deadlines will be extended earlier in the process, and sometimes before the disaster occurs, so they can focus on their safety,' said Mark Koziel, the president of the American Institute of CPAs. MORE ON THAT in a second, but first — welcome to a special Bastille Day version of Weekly Tax. Not with a bang, but with a…: Today marks 160 years since an English mountaineer named Edward Whymper led the first successful ascent of the Matterhorn, the Alps peak along the border of Italy and Switzerland.

Subscribe to POLITICO Pro. You'll also receive daily policy news and other intelligence you need to act on the day's biggest stories. LOOKING AHEAD: Outside events clearly prompted the quick congressional action on the natural disaster filing bill. But it's worth noting that's far from the only measure of its kind that lawmakers have looked at this year. In fact, Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top Democrat on the tax-writing panel, released draft legislation early this year that would make broad reforms in tax administration. Across the way, the House Ways and Means Committee has cleared a string of other proposals aimed at making life easier for taxpayers. All of that prompted some speculation that the two parties might be able to work together on sweeping tax administration legislation this year or next. We'll see about that. This Congress might only be about a quarter over, but it's unclear whether the bruised feelings over the GOP megabill will subside enough for any real bipartisan tax action in the coming months. Some key Republicans have talked up areas for potential cooperation on taxes. But there's also some chatter within the GOP about doing another partisan budget reconciliation measure — or maybe two — while they have full control, which likely wouldn't help the chances for a bipartisan tax package. NOT SO FAST! A nonprofit group is trying to stop a proposed settlement that would give churches an official OK to wade into political activity. Americans United for Separation of Church and State announced Friday that it had asked a federal court to allow it to defend what's known as the Johnson Amendment, which bars certain tax-exempt groups from endorsing candidates and other types of politicking. The group is seeking to intervene after the IRS and religious groups challenging the Johnson Amendment reached a settlement, as part of which the agency said that the decadeslong ban on weighing in on political campaigns didn't apply to churches. Essentially, the IRS also noted that it was just coming clean on a longstanding unwritten rule — that it had rarely enforced the Johnson Amendment when it came to religious groups. In many ways, that's more broadly true of how the agency has handled the ban on political activity for nonprofits. But AU, the separation of church and state group, argued that the Johnson Amendment 'protects the integrity of both our elections and nonprofit organizations, including houses of worship.' 'The Trump administration's radical reinterpretation of the Johnson Amendment is a flagrant, self-serving attack on church-state separation that threatens our democracy by favoring houses of worship over other nonprofits and inserting them into partisan politics,' added the group's president, Rachel Laser. Advocates for nonprofits have long worked to preserve the Johnson Amendment, making it a top lobbying priority for both the 2017 Trump tax cuts and the most recent megabill. Those groups argue that allowing churches and other nonprofits more leeway to be political will erode the nonpartisan mission of most organizations and how they're viewed by the public at-large. DOWN GOES THE DST: Brussels has prepared to ditch plans for a digital tax to help ease trade negotiations with the U.S., as our Gregorio Sorgi noted Friday. At least that was the plan: The European Commission's list of upcoming taxes isn't scheduled to be released until Wednesday, and the report about Brussels dropping its DST came before Trump threatened to bump up tariffs on the EU to 30 percent. In return, European leaders threatened their own 'proportionate countermeasures,' leaving the path forward decidedly unclear. But taking a step back: The EU's willingness to scrap its digital tax would be just the latest example of the U.S. getting its way without having to rely on Section 899, the so-called revenge tax that was dropped from the GOP megabill over concerns that it would impede foreign investment. (Worth noting: Brussels is also considering a broader tax on big companies that would also hit tech titans affected by a DST.) Canada discarded its digital tax a couple weeks ago, just hours before payments were due, as part of its trade negotiations with the U.S. And Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's agreement with the G7 to stop parts of the global tax deal from applying to the U.S. — most notably an undertaxed profits rule that allowed other countries to tax American companies that didn't meet minimum tax thresholds — paved the way for Republicans to drop Section 899 from the megabill. Next question, though: What's the broader impact of that G7 agreement on a global tax pact where around 140 countries signed on to the framework? Top officials at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which led negotiations on the agreement, have argued that the side deal strengthens the overall pact. But Mindy Herzfeld of Tax Notes isn't so sure, arguing that other countries might now seek their own carve-outs from the global tax deal, even if none of them has the same clout as the U.S. 'It remains uncertain whether the exceptionalism of the United States will hold at a time when its broader withdrawal from multilateral commitments has weakened the dollar and confidence in its systems,' Herzfeld wrote.

Singtel's redeveloped Comcentre to be Singapore's first AI-enabled, 5G+ connected building
Set to be completed by 2028, the new $3 billion Comcentre will also be the first end-to-end carbon-neutral development in the country with Triple Certification in Singapore and Asia. Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) and Lendlease have officially broken ground on the new Comcentre, which is slated for completion in 2028. The $3 billion development will feature more than 110,000 square metres of gross floor area across two 20-storey Grade A office towers. It will also include 20,000 square metres of retail and lifestyle spaces (comprising Singtel's new flagship store, F&B offerings, medical suites, a gym, and an auditorium) along with the largest elevated urban park in central Singapore. Set to be Singapore's first AI-enabled building, the Comcentre will be powered by dedicated 5G+ connectivity using network slicing technology provided by Singtel. This will support the seamless integration of AI, IoT sensors, and building systems to enable predictive operations, resource optimisation, and enhanced security. The building will also feature smart infrastructure that adapts to environmental conditions, alongside technology-enabled spaces designed for the future of work and retail. 'The new Comcentre will be the first AI-enabled building powered by dedicated 5G+ connectivity with network slicing to deliver ultra-fast speeds, seamless connectivity and robust security for its tenants. [We are] creating a place not just for ourselves but for businesses to use the latest technologies to develop new products and solutions and thrive. This will showcase how advanced connectivity, data and intelligent systems can transform the way people work, live and engage with their environment,' says Singtel Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon at the groundbreaking ceremony. Besides that, the Comcentre will be a carbon-neutral development, from design through construction and operations, through the use of smart building and digital technologies. It is on track to be the first in Singapore and Asia to achieve a 'Triple Certification.' The development is targeting the International Living Future Institute's Zero Carbon certification and the WELL v2 Core Platinum Certification from the International WELL Building Institute. It also aims to become Singapore's first Green Mark Platinum (Zero Energy) high-rise commercial building under the Building and Construction Authority (BCA)'s sustainability guidelines, meeting all five of BCA's sustainability badges. Designed to achieve 70% energy savings from the Green Mark 2005 baseline, the building will cut energy consumption by an estimated 12 million kWh annually, enough to power over 3,750 three-room HDB flats, said Lendlease group CEO and managing director Tony Lombardo. To meet these targets, the project will include efforts such as: 1,000 kWp onsite renewables installed through the use of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) panels and building integrated photovoltaic panels (BiPV) to generate renewable energy Centralised high-efficiency dual-temp chiller plant supported by Active Chilled Beam and Variable Air Volume hybrid cooling system with elevated setpoint temperature for improved energy efficiency Low heat gain façade with high-performing glazing and extensive building shading to reduce cooling demand Smart lighting system with daylight and occupancy sensors for adaptive dimming and energy savings High-efficiency lifts with Variable Voltage Variable Frequency, sleep mode and regenerative features to optimise energy use EV-ready infrastructure, enabling up to 30% of parking lots to support electric vehicles (EV) The development will also reduce potable water use by 69% (equivalent to 25 Olympic-sized swimming pools) through rainwater harvesting as well as using NEWater for toilet flushing and a water intelligence system. '[This project] combines our deep expertise in sustainable development with a vision for how people will live, work and connect in the future. We are proud to partner with Singtel to deliver a world-class asset that not only redefines the workplace, but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable and connected living in Singapore and beyond,' says Lombardo. The redevelopment will showcase a digital-first approach to construction. Lendlease and its partners will implement 19 integrated digital delivery (IDD) use cases, ranging from digital design checks and virtual coordination to real-time asset monitoring and digital operations. Advanced construction methods will also be used to cut on-site labour needs by up to 30% and shorten delivery timelines by as much as 20%, according to a joint press statement. At the same event, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat highlighted the Comcentre's innovative contracting model as a blueprint for future developments. 'It is amongst the few major private sector projects in Singapore to incorporate an open-book payment model with gain share and Guaranteed Maximum Price, and is a forerunner for more collaborative and risk-sharing models in Singapore's Built Environment sector. This is a progressive shift away from the traditional lump sum contracting model that is common in the industry today,' he says. Under this arrangement, contractors are reimbursed for actual costs up to an agreed ceiling, with cost savings shared between the developer and builder. This encourages continuous innovation, joint problem-solving, and aligned incentives towards delivering better outcomes. 'When completed, the new Comcentre will not only be a showcase of future-ready infrastructure but also a model of how sustainability, technology and collaboration can come together to redefine and transform our built environment for future generations to come,' adds Chee. As at 12pm, shares in Singtel are trading 6 cents higher or 1.54% up at $3.96. 8% y-o-y to $8.2 mil Singtel's enhanced connectivity solution to support enterprises' global IoT deployment DBS raises Singtel's TP to $4.58, says telco's core value could increase by 180% Read more stories about where the money flows, and analysis of the biggest market stories from Singapore and around the World Get in-depth insights from our expert contributors, and dive into financial and economic trends Follow the market issue situation with our daily updates Or want more Lifestyle and Passion stories?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (' WELL ' or the ' Company '), a company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare providers and their patients, is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting continued growth and improved financial guidance for its Canadian Clinics Business, progress on its M&A pipeline, the expansion of its RBC-led credit facility, and disclosure on a material cost optimization and efficiency initiative. WELL continues to demonstrate strong momentum through continued organic and inorganic growth and is pleased to announce that it is ahead of internal expectations and has updated its guidance for its Canadian Clinics segment, which includes both primary care and diagnostics divisions, to over $450 million in revenue for 2025, representing a 41% increase over total revenue of $319.1 million in 2024. Similarly, Canadian Clinics is now forecasting Adjusted EBITDA of over $60 million in 2025, reflecting an increase of approximately 47% over Adjusted EBITDA of $40.7 million in 2024. WELL expects its operating Adjusted EBITDA margins to improve given the Company is growing Adjusted EBITDA at a faster rate than its revenues. 'Given that we are halfway through the year and tracking favourably to our plan for the year, we are very pleased to provide a progress update on our core Canadian Clinics business,' said Hamed Shahbazi, Founder and CEO of WELL Health Technologies, 'Canadian Clinics is demonstrating the strength of its platform with continued strong organic growth and M&A execution throughout 2025 so far with 13 clinics acquired to date, representing $33 million in annual revenue. Most recently, we're pleased to announce two new strategic acquisitions completed just this past week. We are also pleased to report that we've recently amended our credit agreement to a $200 million senior secured facility led by RBC.' Dr. Michael Frankel, Chief Medical Officer and President of Canadian Clinics commented, 'I'm very proud of the strong team that is executing on clinic transformation, digitization, and integration at WELL Clinics. Our clinic transformation team is responsible for improving access to care and raising the sustainability of the Canadian healthcare ecosystem. In addition to significant improvements in the patient journey, our efforts to attract more physicians have allowed us to create more than 50,000 new patient openings across four provinces in what may be one of the most expansive opportunities to attach patients and expand care in the country.' WELL Expands British Columbia Clinics Platform with Two Strategic Acquisitions WELL completed the acquisition of two clinics in British Columbia on July 1, 2025. These acquisitions are expected to contribute over $12 million in annual revenue and approximately $3 million in Adjusted EBITDA, further expanding WELL's leading network of outpatient healthcare clinics across Canada. The two new additions include a personalized health clinic in Vancouver, BC which will boost the Company's Longevity and Preventative Health business as well as a large, well-established primary care and specialty clinic in Burnaby, BC offering primary care, pediatrics, and specialty services including neurology and dermatology. These acquisitions reflect WELL's continued focus on expanding access to high-quality, patient-centered care, enhancing its operational scale in key markets, and applying its proven clinic transformation playbook to drive improved efficiencies and margin expansion over time. WELL Continues Steady Pipeline Execution WELL continues to execute one of the largest and most active acquisition programs in the country. The Company is making steady progress against a deep and growing pipeline of opportunities. As of today, WELL has 5 targets under letters of intent (LOI), representing 7 clinics and approximately $27 million in annual revenue and $3.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's broader pipeline includes 27 targets comprising 124 clinics, representing a combined $370 million in annual revenue and $50 million in Adjusted EBITDA. This sustained momentum underscores WELL's strategic advantage and disciplined approach to scaling in a fragmented market. By leveraging its operational platform and proven integration capabilities, WELL is well-positioned to continue expanding its national presence while remaining focused on creating long-term value through accretive transactions. The Company's approach remains rooted in identifying high-quality clinics, supporting clinicians, and delivering consistent, high-return performance across acquired assets while ensuring high-quality operational excellence and a focus on achieving the best patient outcomes possible. WELL and RBC Expand and Extend Credit Facility to 2027 In support of its ongoing growth plans, WELL is pleased to announce that its senior secured credit facility, led by Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and supported by a syndicate of lenders, has been extended through 2027 with several favorable structural enhancements. Notably, the Company has converted the accordion feature of the facility into a revolving credit line, increasing both flexibility and access to capital. The total size of the facility now stands at approximately $200 million, with more than $70 million of available capacity as of the date of this release. As of the end of Q2, it is expected that the leverage ratio in this facility was less than 2.5x. This expanded facility reflects the confidence of WELL's banking partners and provides a strong financial foundation to support the Company's growth initiatives. WELL's Cost Optimization and Efficiency Initiative WELL's continued focus on digitization and modernization of its primary care clinics is resulting in a significant multi-million-dollar cost optimization initiative designed to improve efficiency and enhance operational excellence of its primary care clinics across Canada. The cost savings are currently being implemented and will be in place by the end of July 2025. Footnotes: The Company's guidance of $450 million in revenue and $60 million in Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2025 for Canadian Patient Services segment includes all announced acquisitions and includes the 5 LOIs noted herein which will contribute approximately $10 million in revenue and $1 million in Adjusted EBITDA for inclusion in fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
