Rigorous research, testing, and feedback are at the center of both versions of the WELL Building Standard placing health and wellness at the center of design, construction, technology, and programming decisions.
- Connect and apply health and safety-promoting strategies of WELL Building Standard to operational policies and procedures within the built environment. Explore and learn about best practices and the new research-based insights on low to no-cost investments that offer the greatest health benefits.
- Review examples and the benefits of implementing the WELL Health + Safety Rating by qualifying how WELL combines best practices with evidence-based medical and scientific research-harnessing the built environment as a vehicle to support human health and safety well into the future.
