The WELL Building Standard is a means for buildings and organizations to deliver more thoughtful and purposeful spaces that promote human health and well-being. WELL is backed by the latest scientific research. It includes strategies aimed at promoting health by setting performance standards for design interventions, operational protocols and policies. In addition, it includes a commitment to promoting a culture of health and wellness. Building on the groundbreaking foundation of the first version of the WELL Building Standard (WELL v1), WELL v2 draws on the expertise of thousands of WELL users, practitioners, medical professionals, public health experts and building scientists around the world.

​

WELL v2 is the most rigorously tested and vetted version of the WELL Building Standard (WELL) to date, making it the premier framework for advancing health and wellness around the world.

The importance of creating a healthy working and living environment for the people who work in your buildings, as well as the energy-saving measures for your commercial real estate portfolio, is now greater than ever.

Increasingly, these aspects not only provide a competitive advantage, but have also become a legal requirement. 

 

We are entering the next chapter of (human) sustainability, as European regulations increasingly oblige parties in the real estate market to allocate, report and ultimately address climate and social risks. It is therefore vital that companies, investors and financial institutions, together with market players in the construction sector and end-users, develop new and better policies for the reduction of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, integrating ESG principles and compliance.
