4 Over the last decade, green BUILDING standards and STANDARD -setting organizations have made significant strides towards the market transformation of the BUILDING industry, resulting in a rapid expansion of green buildings and environmentally conscious BUILDING practices throughout the world. Over the same period, strategies to enhance human health and well-being have played a relatively small role in the evolution of BUILDING standards. We believe that the time has come to elevate human health and comfort to the forefront of BUILDING practices and reinvent buildings that are not only better for the planet, but also for people. 1. This is the first STANDARD of its kind that focuses solely on the health and wellness of BUILDING WELL identifies 100 performance metrics, design strategies, and policies that can be implemented by the owners, designers, engineers, contractors, users and operators of a WELL is based on a thorough review of the existing research on the effects of spaces on individuals and has been advanced through a thorough scientific and technical In order to achieve the requirements of the WELL BUILDING STANDARD , the space must undergo a process that includes an on-site assessment and performance testing by a third BUILDING STANDARD v1 Introduction2A Wellness STANDARD for BuildingsThe WELL BUILDING STANDARD marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based health and wellness interventions.

5 It harnesses the built environment as a vehicle to support human health, well-being and comfort. WELL Certified spaces and developments can lead to a built environment that helps to improve the nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep, comfort and performance of its occupants. This is achieved in part by implementing strategies, programs and technologies designed to encourage healthy, more active lifestyles and reducing occupant exposure to harmful chemicals and document presents the overall strategies, performance targets, certification and adherence steps required for projects to meet the WELL BUILDING STANDARD . WELL BUILDING STANDARD v1 is applicable for commercial and institutional buildings and WELL Certification can be applied to three project typologies: 1. New and Existing Buildings2.

6 New and Existing Interiors 3. Core and Shell Pilot programs are available for other BUILDING sectors, including multifamily residences, retail, and restaurants. Projects representing these BUILDING sectors are invited to join our ongoing pilot program. Future refinements will address the specific requirements of sports facilities, healthcare facilities, and communities. Updates to the WELL BUILDING STANDARD The WELL BUILDING STANDARD is a dynamic rating system. As the intersection between design and human health evolves, we strongly believe in the importance of advancing alongside. The WELL BUILDING STANDARD (WELL) was launched in October 2014, and as part of the development process, updates to the STANDARD incorporate early user feedback, including simplifications, language enhancements and additional clarifications to certain feature BUILDING STANDARD v1 Introduction3 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREWELL is the culmination of seven years of rigorous research in collaboration with leading physicians, scientists and industry professionals.

7 The WELL BUILDING STANDARD was pioneered by Delos, is administered by the International WELL BUILDING Institute (IWBI ), and is third-party certified through IWBI s collaboration with Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) the certification body for the LEED Green BUILDING Rating WELL BUILDING Institute, PBC (IWBI)IWBI is a public benefit corporation whose mission is to improve human health and well-being through the built environment. Public benefit corporations like IWBI are an emerging structure for corporations committed to balancing public benefits with profitability harnessing the power of private capital for greater good. IWBI administers the WELL BUILDING STANDARD (WELL) a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of buildings that impact the health and wellbeing of the people who live, work, and learn in them.

8 Fulfilling the vision of IWBI Founder Paul Scialla, IWBI has a pioneering altruistic capitalism model that will address social responsibility and demonstrate a sustainable model for philanthropy. IWBI has committed to direct 51% of net profits received from WELL Certification project fees toward charitable contributions and impact investment focused on health, wellness, and the built environment. IWBI was established by Delos in 2013 pursuant to a Clinton global Initiative commitment to improve the way people live by developing spaces that enhance occupant health and quality of life by sharing the WELL BUILDING STANDARD Living LLCD elos is pioneering the integration of health and wellness technologies into the places we live, work and learn.

9 By placing health and wellness at the center of design, construction, technology and programming decisions, Delos is transforming our homes, offices, schools and other indoor environments into spaces that actively contribute to human health and well-being. Alignment with Green BUILDING StandardsThe WELL BUILDING STANDARD is designed to work harmoniously with the LEED Green BUILDING Rating System, the Living BUILDING Challenge and other leading global green BUILDING standards. We encourage projects to pursue both WELL and standards that address environmental BUILDING STANDARD v1 Introduction4 WELLNESS A COMPLEX ISSUEC omprehensive and interdisciplinary approaches are necessary to meaningfully address the complex issues of human health and well-being.

10 A narrow focus on select aspects of health is inadequate to the task. Many factors of the physical environment have a significant impact on day-to-day health and productivity, but it is often the interactions between multiple environmental factors that matter most. A growing body of research supports these claims but little has been done to translate research into practice. The WELL BUILDING STANDARD therefore draws from multiple disciplines of scientific study, and presents an integrated approach that reinvents the built environment around its occupants, transforming the places we live, work and learn into systems intended to promote and improve human health and well-being. Interactions Between Humans and the Built EnvironmentTraditional healthcare delivery systems primarily focus on addressing health after people have already become sick.
