What is a WELL rating?

The WELL rating system follows performance-based criteria that measure, monitor and certify parts of the built environment that have an innate impact on wellbeing and health of humans. Its aim is to help prevent chronic diseases by using the built environment through the improvement of nutrition, mood, fitness, sleep patterns and performance of its occupants. Already over 250 separate projects across twenty two countries are already registered for a WELL rating. 20 of which are in Australia.

When is a WELL Rating required?

WELL is an optional energy rating that demonstrates industry excellence, showing a building has met sustainability goals, attempting to drastically reduce a buildings carbon footprint as well as attempting to improve the health and wellbeing of its occupants.

What are the requirements of a WELL Rating?

There are three levels of WELL certification, those being silver, gold and platinum increasing in achievement respectively. To become a certified WELL building, firstly you must register with the WELL certification body, through which, you will receive an accredited assessor who will guide you through the process as well as perform onsite inspections and reviews of project documentation. After these rigorous assessments and if WELL certification is achieved follow up inspections are required in order to sure that the building is maintaining its performance targets in the future, well after initial certification.

How is a WELL Rating assessed?

The WELL system is organised in seven concepts of “wellness”. These concepts are divided into performance-based standards or prescriptive standards that require specific technologies, design strategies or protocols (e.g. a smoking ban). This rating system is based on medical research that demonstrates the link between the buildings in which we spend more than 90 percent of our time, and the wellness and overall health of occupants who use it on a daily basis.
