Green Building Break – Healthy Buildings, Organizations, & Communities = Healthy People – Part 1
January 17 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Given that we spend 90% of our time indoors, indoor environments can have a significant impact on our health and wellness. The WELL Building Standard® responds to this condition by placing people’s health and wellness at the center of design, and takes a holistic approach that addresses behavior, operations and design. Grounded in medical research that explores the connection between buildings and health, WELL offers a system for evaluating, measuring and certifying various building features that impact human health across 10 categories – air, water, light, nourishment, thermal comfort, materials, sound, mind, community and movement.
Join us for this two-part virtual Green Building Break exploring the WELL Building Standard®, which supports holistic human health and wellness through healthy buildings, organizations, and communities. This GBB will take place across two 1-hour sessions on Friday, January 17th & 24th. Be sure to register for both sessions to get the calendar invites and reminder emails!
Jan. 17th – Part 1 will go through the 10 WELL concepts and explore how they correlate to other ESG frameworks.
Jan. 24th – Part 2 will discuss the WELL/LEED Crosswalk in detail to demonstrate how these two approaches work in sync.
