SDA/OC Webinar – What is the WELL Standard and Why is it Important?

WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort, and mind. Using the WELL exam as a basis for discussion we will touch on ways that a firm can adapt their thinking to manage the health and well-being of the staff that occupy their buildings and what considerations go into making these changes at a low to zero cost to the overhead budget.
