The journal
New properties, new standards, and what the index itself shows as it grows. Every entry carries its sources, for the same reason every score does.

A private house on a white sand cove inside the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, ten kilometres of dirt road south of Tulum. Human Garage filmed a walkthrough with Farah in October 2025. The setting does most of the talking, and the written record says less.

Twenty-seven rooms in the wood-carving village of Mas, vegan and alcohol free, with a wellness zone that gets most of the attention. Human Garage filmed a walkthrough with the director on 30 October 2025. What the record holds is narrower, and more useful.

Three private villas above Gouvia Marina, let whole by the week. Human Garage filmed a visit on 3 July 2025, and the owner, Aliki Vatidi, explained on camera what she had changed and why.

Building biology, the discipline our assessment methods draw on, calls the building the third skin, after the skin you were born in and the clothes you put on. Sixty years of German practice sits behind the phrase, and it is the frame that makes measuring a bedroom make sense.

We publish 127 records on what wellness and eco properties disclose about the buildings guests sleep in. On the electromagnetic environment of a bedroom, 117 of those records have been assessed and 99 publish nothing at all. Five name a system. None publishes a measurement.
Standards · 2026-08-05 · 3 min
WELL, LEED, GSTC, Fitwel, EarthCheck, Green Key, Green Globe, B Corp, The Long Run, BIO HOTELS, Nordic Swan and Building Biology, read against their own published criteria. EMF is the only column with no middle ground: one covers it, eleven do not.
