The five-star hotel in Seoul’s Namsan Mountain district
underwent rigorous assessments, including air handling unit
evaluations, janitorial effectiveness checks and air quality
testing. UL Solutions experts thoroughly reviewed these assessment
results to verify the quality of the indoor environment. These
claims align with guidelines of industry-recognized third-party
organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE). The hotel will undergo mid-year checkups and annual
comprehensive assessments to maintain its verified status.
“More than ever, hotels are seeking ways to convey confidence
and reassurance to their guests and staff in order to build trust,
whether they are staying, dining, meeting or working at a hotel,”
said Sean McCrady, vice president and general manager of the
Enterprise Sustainability group at UL Solutions. “By earning the UL
Verified Healthy Building Mark, the Grand Hyatt Seoul is
demonstrating how the hotel prioritizes the health and well-being
of building occupants. We are proud to apply our science-based work
to support this achievement.”
UL Solutions developed the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark to
meet the growing demand for healthier indoor spaces. For hotels to
earn this UL Verification Mark, UL Solutions assesses them against
rigorous indoor air quality (IAQ) and hygiene methodologies. By
addressing the unique challenges of indoor hotel environments, the
verification program promotes continual IAQ improvement through
policies and plans. It also provides visibility into potential
challenges, allowing early mitigation through practical solutions.
This commitment to optimizing indoor environmental quality helps
convey confidence and reassurance to the public when staying or
dining at the hotel.
The verification from UL Solutions is a key part of the Grand
Hyatt’s safety assessment and preparation strategy as it embraces
an increase in occupancy due to a rise in travel and in-person
meetings. The hotel has worked behind the scenes to achieve the UL
Verified Healthy Building Mark while implementing additional
practices designed to enhance the well-being of guests and staff.
These include sanitizer stations prominently placed throughout the
hotel, heightened frequency of cleaning of public spaces and
guestroom surfaces, accredited cleanliness training, and an
on-staff hygiene and well-being leader to help ensure heightened
protocols are met.
“The Grand Hyatt Seoul has consistently prioritized the health
and safety of our guests, employees, and community,” stated Peter
Hildebrand, the Grand Hyatt Seoul general manager. “UL Solutions is
a strong partner in these efforts. They provided us with meaningful
insights based on scientific data and deep building health and
safety expertise. As a trusted destination for discerning
travelers, our hotel achieving the UL Verified Healthy Building
Mark underscores our commitment to excellence while investing in
programs that enhance the well-being of our valued guests and
talented staff.”
