LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Gain a basic understanding of the WELL Building Standard 2. Understand the WELL certification process 3. Identify features and credits that overlap between WELL and LEED 4. Understand how to approach WELL if a project is already pursuing LEED certification

THE WELL BUILDING STANDARD • WELL is for People • The first standard of its kind that focuses solely on the health and wellness of building occupants • Measures , verifies , and monitors building features that impact health and well-being • Healthy Buildings Movement

A HOLISTIC APPROACH

CURRENT PROJECTS • Over 530 projects registered – Half in the US • Over 100 Million SF are applying WELL • 42 Projects Certified • First Project Certified: CBRE Group’s Global Corporate Headquarters in downtown Los Angeles

WE SPEND 90% OF OUR TIME INDOORS

INVESTING IN PEOPLE Design & Salary / Benefits, 90% Construction O&M 2% 6% Rent / Operations, 9% Energy, 1% Personnel 92%

PROJECT TYPES New & Existing Buildings New & Existing Interiors Core & Shell Pilot Programs (current and future): 1. Multifamily Residential 6. Communities 2. Educational Facilities 7. Exercise Facilities 3. Retail 8. Public Assembly 4. Restaurant 9. Healthcare 5. Commercial Kitchens

AIR Air Pollution is the number one environmental cause of premature mortality, contributing to 200,000 premature deaths in the United States and 7 million worldwide. Have you heard of the Sick Building Syndrome? Eye, Skin, and Airway Irritation Fatigue Headaches

AIR WELL Features • Indoor Air Quality Standards • No Smoking Policies • Proper Ventilation & Air Filtration • Humidity Control • VOC Reduction • Mold Control & Moisture Management • IAQ Management During Construction • Material Selection

AIR LEED Overlap: • No Smoking Policies • Ventilation • Air Infiltration Management • VOC Reduction • Construction Pollution Management • Air Flush

WATER The World Health Organization reports that almost one billion people lack access to safe drinking water worldwide. Drinking water contamination is a major health issue.

WATER WELL Features: • Drinking Water Promotion • Water Quality Testing • Sediment • Microorganisms • Dissolved Metals • Organic Pollutants • Herbicides and Pesticides • Fertilizers • Disinfectants • Fluoride • Periodic Water Quality Testing

NOURISHMENT Poor diet is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. In many countries, people consume more than 500 calories from added sugars per day. In the U.S., half the population consumes sugar-sweetened beverages on any given day.

NOURISHMENT WELL Features: • Fruits and Vegetables • Mindful Eating • Processed Foods • Artificial Ingredients • Serving Sizes • Food Advertising • Food Storage • Access to Healthy Foods

LIGHT Multiple physiological processes, including those related to alertness, digestion, and sleep, are regulated in part by the variance in the body’s circadian rhythm. The Institute of Medicine reports that about 50 to 70 million U.S. adults have chronic sleep or wakefulness disorder. Such disorders are associated with diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attacks, and strokes.

LIGHT WELL Features: • Circadian Lighting Design • Glare Control • Color Quality • Daylighting • Views • Right to Light

LIGHT LEED Overlap: • Interior Lighting • Surface Design • Glare Control • Daylight • Quality Views

FITNESS Over 60% of all people worldwide do not get the recommended daily 30-minute minimum of moderate- intensity physical activity. An average adult obtains only 6-10 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a day.

FITNESS WELL Features: • Interior Fitness Activity • Exterior Fitness Activity • Activity Incentive Programs • Bicycle Storage and Support • Fitness Equipment Availability • Active Workstations • Standing Desks

FITNESS LEED Overlap: • Exterior Active Design • Pedestrian Promotion • Pedestrian Amenities • Open Space • Surrounding Density & Diverse Uses • Bicycle Facilities & Shower

COMFORT In 2006, only 11% of the office buildings surveyed in the U.S. provided thermal environments that met occupant satisfaction. Employee surveys show acoustic problems are a leading source of dissatisfaction within the environmental conditions of an office.

COMFORT WELL Features: • Exterior and Interior Noise • Thermal Comfort – Individual & Radiant • Olfactory Comfort • Sound Masking & Barriers • Ergonomics

COMFORT LEED Overlap: • Thermal Comfort • ASHRAE Standard 55-2013 • Personal Thermal Comfort Devices • Acoustic Performance • Reverberation time • Wall Construction • Doorway Specifications

MIND Major depression is affecting about 16 million adults in the U.S., one of the most common of mood disorders. Poor mental health is linked to poor health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes.

MIND WELL Features: • Integrative Design • Biophilia • Healthy Sleep Policy • Business Travel • Workplace Family Support • Altruism • Beauty and Design
