WELL is the leading global tool for promoting health and well-being in buildings through design and operation.
It was created in 2015 by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) in the United States and is currently in version 2.
WELL certification can be applied to new projects, existing buildings, interior offices, and building envelopes.
WELL includes preconditions and optimizations grouped according to their impact on the environment and occupants.
All preconditions must be met, and a minimum score of 40 points is required to achieve certification.
The cost of certifying an office building depends on its size and characteristics.
The levels of WELL certification are: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
WELL improves health and comfort (air, water, lighting, thermal comfort), leading to higher occupant satisfaction, productivity, and retention, making buildings more attractive to companies and end-users.
We prioritize low-cost, high-impact measures (optimal ventilation and orientation, efficient filters, lighting controls, internal policies) and optimize specifications to balance CAPEX and benefits.
