On Wednesday, May 24, the Center for Health & Wellbeing (CHWB) and Nourish Coffee Bar + Kitchen received Green Business designations from the City of Winter Park. This City program acknowledges organizations in Winter Park that have made substantial efforts to be more sustainable in terms of building efficiency, waste reduction, and consumer choices. This recognition underscores WPHF’s and AdventHealth’s, partners in the CHWB, commitment to environmental wellbeing throughout the design, construction, and ongoing operation of the facility.
The following practices helped us earn the Green Business designations:

In addition to the Green Business designations, at the City Commission meeting CHWB’s LEED Silver certification was also announced. One of the ways WPHF and AdventHealth were sure to do their part in helping the planet was to pursue a LEED certification during the construction of the facility. With more than 120,000 buildings across the world reaching a certified LEED designation, LEED is the world’s most widely used green building system. To achieve that LEED Silver certification, the CHWB project earned points by adhering to prerequisites and credits that address carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health and indoor environmental quality. The Center then went through a verification and review process by Green Business Certification Inc. and was awarded enough points for a Silver designation.
