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 con scious BUILDING practices throughout the world.

9 We encourage projects to pursue both well and standards that address environmental sustainability. well BUILDING STANDARD Introduction 4 WELLNESS A COMPLEX ISSUE Comprehensive and int erdisciplinary approaches are necessary to meaningfully address the complex issues of human health and wellbeing. 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 of ten the interactions between multiple environmental factors that matter most. A growing body of research supports these claims but until recently, little had been done to translate research into practice. The well BUILDING Standarddraws from multiple disciplines of scientific study, and presents an integrative 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 wellbeing.

10 Interactions between Humans and the Built Environment Traditional healthcare delivery systems primarily focus on addressing health after people have already become sick. With rising costs and the increased burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, people are turning to more lifestyle-oriented and preventative approaches to health. The well BUILDING STANDARD is founded on the understanding that facets of our environment interact with personal, genetic and behavioral factors to shape our overall health and wellbeing. well recognizes that many unconscious behaviors are dictated by external cues and thus, it has carefully considered interactions between humans and the built environment that not only shape our physical health but also our behavior. The Basis for the well BUILDING STANDARD The well BUILDING STANDARD is a product of seven years of research and development consulting with an expert peer review process encompassing a scientific, practitioner, and medical review.
