Facility managers looking to connect building performance with occupant health and well-being should consider attending the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) upcoming 2026 Tampa Transformation Forum: Building for Well-Being: Strong, Connected Communities.
The forum will take place Aug. 27 in Tampa, Florida, at Tampa Heights Union East and West. To register for the event, visit the USGBC website. A special LEED property tour will take place before the forum and requires separate registration.
USGBC Florida is bringing together building owners, developers, industry experts and facility managers to examine the growing role of wellness in facilities. The discussion will focus on how buildings designed around human health, community connection and long-term resilience can deliver stronger outcomes for both occupants and owners.
The event also provides an opportunity to learn how LEED v5 Quality of Life requirements, the latest evolution of the LEED green building rating system, are elevating quality-of-life considerations, with the category representing 25 percent of available credits. LEED v5 Quality of Life requirements encourage facility teams to play a more active role in maintaining and improving building conditions over time.
