The International WELL Building Institute +
​WELL Health Safety Program 

---

If 2020 showed us anything, it is that our health and safety are directly linked to how we design and maintain the great indoors. 

​The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) is a global movement anchored by the latest scientific research and best industry practices to transform they way we build buildings, organizations and communities. It believes buildings should be developed with people’s health and wellness at the center of design. 

IWBI launched the WELL Building Standard after a six-year, expert peer review process that included scientists, practitioners and medical professionals around the world. As of June 2021, there are over 11,000 WELL certified projects spanning 99+ countries and 2.5 billion s.f. 

A WELL certified building delivers on the triple-bottom line: financial, environmental and social. This is accomplished by meeting standards for air, water, nourishment (cafeteria services, etc), fitness, light, comfort, and mind/innovation that directly improve the health and safety of its occupants. 

​In addition, after the emergence of Covid-19, WELL created a task force that established the Health and Safety Rating to help prepare facilities. Those that meet these guidelines get a WELL safety seal on their door - and surely some peace of mind.

Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, according to the EPA.
