About 7 years ago, two brothers saw the potential in combining real-estate and healthcare, so they founded the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) which created WELL.
What is WELL? WELL Building Certification is an evidence-based system that building owners can look to as a roadmap to ensure that their tenants are in a "healthy" and safe space. In order to achieve WELL Building Certification, a building's metrics are closely measured and monitored, strongly focusing on performance features that impact the health and well-being of people who live, work, and learn in buildings.
In episode 16 of the "10 Minutes to a Better Building" podcast, Boland's Energy Performance Engineer, Meaghan Trentacost, discusses WELL Building- what it is, what the certification covers, why you should get certified, and more!
