WELL Building Standard is an international rating system for building certification.
The WELL standard is developed and regulated by the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) – USA. GBC Europe Certification Body, Germany.
It is the first standard of its kind that focuses exclusively on the health and well-being of the people in the building.
Defines 102 performance indicators, design strategies, and procedures that can be implemented by owners, designers, engineers, contractors, users, and building managers.
It is based on a thorough analysis of existing studies on the effects of indoor spaces on humans, and was put forward thanks to a comprehensive expert assessment.
