RESET® Project Statuses and Accreditation

Projects that leverage the RESET Standard can be accredited or certified by RESET. Accreditation and statuses are applied to each of the RESET Standards separately per project.

To learn more, please reach out by emailing us at info[at]reset.build.

1. RESET Entry

Note: The RESET Entry status and associated services will not be available until Q4 of 2022.

RESET Entry for Indoor Air Quality is a short-term monitoring certificate awarded to projects based on one month of continuous monitoring using RESET Accredited monitors.

RESET Entry projects are forward-thinking projects that are initiating preliminary diagnostics of their indoor air quality conditions and utilizing the power of the RESET Indices. Data collected during the minimum required one-month time period can be remarkably insightful for project teams, helping them make adjustments to their indoor spaces and fine tune building systems in order to prepare for occupant reentry and sustained precautionary approaches in a “new normal”.

Use Case and Benefits

RESET Entry for projects is perfect for initial commissioning or a gap analysis when exploring solutions. 30 days of continuous monitoring presents a more holistic picture of how a space is performing in comparison to spot tests and helps projects familiarize themselves to RESET.

RESET Connected is awarded to projects that want to explore the RESET Standard but are not yet ready to pursue certification. RESET Connected projects have installed at least one accredited monitor according to RESET Standard and are ready to utilize the RESET Cloud for data analytics.

RESET Connected empowers users to gamify the health and sustainability performance of spaces and buildings under separate tenancy or ownership.

Use Case and Benefits

RESET Connected can be used as a tenant and stakeholder engagement program and tool, helping all parties improve their health and sustainability performance. RESET Connected provides owners, operators, and asset managers with anonymous leaderboards and an engagement process that enables them to onboard tenanted spaces and buildings on an incremental basis, following a common standard.

Examples include:

  • Multi-tenant buildings.
  • Collections of tenanted spaces distributed across multiple buildings.
  • Collections of buildings.

By sharing performance data anonymously, tenants are able to benchmark against their peers and extract insights for optimization and reporting. Owners, operators, and asset managers gain by improving the overall health, safety, and sustainability performance of their assets.

  • To RESET Accredited: Complete a Documentation Audit and a Site Audit.
  • To RESET Certified: Complete a Documentation Audit, Site Audit, and pass the threshold requirements for the relevant RESET Standard.

3. RESET Pre-Accredited

RESET Pre-Accredited is awarded to projects that have passed the documentation audit according to the RESET Standard. Laying proper groundwork and engaging all stakeholders early in the design process is the most proactive way a project team can plan ahead and create buildings with outstanding efficiency and performance. RESET Pre-Accredited projects exemplify this in having documentation as proof of design intent.

Use Case and Benefits

This is an important status in the RESET accreditation process as it commits a project to deploy according to standard. A project can submit their design documentation and be approved for this status irrespective of whether or not construction or on-site deployment has commenced. This means project teams can celebrate their RESET Pre-Accredited status as early as the schematic phase of design.
