What is the WELL Standard?

The training begins with an introduction to what the WELL Building Standard is, how a project can qualify for WELL certification, and which professional disciplines are typically involved in the certification process.

Review of WELL Concepts

After reviewing the basics of what the WELL Building Standard is, the training then introduces the seven main WELL concepts. Each concept relates to a different aspect of the built environment that can affect health and wellness including Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Fitness, Comfort, and Mind.

Real World Applications

Many of the features in the WELL Building Standard fall under the responsibility of other team members like Architects and Engineers, but there are a substantial amount that can be addressed directly by furniture professionals. Once the learners gain a general understanding of each of the 7 concepts, the training takes a deep dive into the specific features that they can address, as well as real work examples of products and strategies they can use.
