central command center that remotely monitors, analyzes, and adjusts core
building functions 24/7/365.

FILTRATION

JBG SMITH buildings are equipped with a the highest MERV level filters possible
in their systems to reduce contaminants in the air to protect occupant health.

HUMIDITY/TEMPERATURE

VENTILATION

JBG SMITH buildings introduce fresh air throughout the day. 

AIR AND WATER QUALITY

JBG SMITH proactively tests air and water quality annually. For air, we test for pollutants like airborne particulates, VOCs, and CO2. And for water, we test for legionella and lead. Mitigation measures are taken if particulate or bacteria quantities are higher than the acceptable limits.

 
Industry Leading Cleaning and Sanitization Practices

JBG SMITH has developed a strategy for cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing all common areas and high-touch surfaces in our buildings. We have worked with our cleaning service providers on training and executing protocols utilizing EPA-registered disinfectants that effectively kill viruses. In addition, we will continue to have sanitization stations and have added handwashing and hygiene signage in and around our common areas and amenity spaces.

Investment in Touchless Technology

JBG SMITH has installed features and technologies in our building that reduce touchpoints, which helps decrease the chances of spreading germs and other microbes.
At most of our buildings, automatic door openers, hands-free faucets, and soap dispensers have been installed.

JBG SMITH SUSTAINABILITY

JBG SMITH IS CARBON NEUTRAL. 
This means we have offset the carbon emissions associated with operating our buildings.

Reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere not only mitigates our impact on the environment
but also reduces the effects of climate change on human health.  Climate change affects some of
the essential factors that influence our human health such as air quality, temperature, food availability,
mental health and well-being, and safe shelter and water supply. 

People and communities face climate change and health related impacts together. Our actions today contribute to a healthier world for all of us.  We will continue our commitment to carbon neutrality for
years to come.  JBG SMITH is committed to healthy buildings, healthy people, healthy communities
and a healthy planet.
