This presentation introduces the WELL Building Standard, introducing its overlaps with LEED/Living Building Challenge, each unique "feature", how to certify projects and gain the credential, and most importantly, it applies the "features" as they are learned to a schematic case study of a 13,415sf tenant fit-out to demonstrate new ways of design thinking, programming, and other considerations which WELL certification will impact as it becomes more mainstream.
