As promised earlier this year, the International WELL Building Institute has released the world’s first standard aimed at improving the fitness of building occupants through better-tuned indoor environments.
The performance-based WELL Building Standard Version 1.0 is a system for measuring, certifying and monitoring commercial and institutional building features that have an impact on human health and well-being. Beyond the features targeted, which include air, water, nourishment, light, fitness and comfort, the standard even addresses the human mind, according to IWBI.
