The International WELL Building Institute has been a very powerful force in the design world. With this program a building's community can become more holistic in their health.
The WELL program looks at the building itself for being environmentally friendly as well as the people and employees inside. Light, air, water, nourishment, fitness, comfort, and mind are all the concepts that are focused into WELL's standards. All of these are meant to give awareness to health and wellbeing in buildings globally so that people are thriving not just surviving.

Name some buildings that have achieved well certification.
ReplyDeleteName some key features of the certification that differentiate it from LEED.
The building pictured above is WELL certified. It is the Haworth Los Angeles Showroom. There is even a WELL certified building in Chicago, the Hyatt Headquarters. WELL is different from LEED in the sense that actual data is collected from its occupants. WELL has features such as comfort and fitness included in its program. LEED is more concerned with the impact a building has on the environment.
