Executive summary

In 2019, WELL concept advisors played a critical role in evolving WELL and shaping the industry through a vast web of expanded engagement, communications and publications. Over 110 individuals in 16 countries and 8 states participated in the inaugural advisories. Collectively, these advisors shared their input over the course of 60+ working group calls, contributed to the development of three beta features - S06ß Impact Noise Management, C17ß Housing Equity, W09ß On-Site Non-Potable Water Reuse - and influenced over 50 WELL updates by means of FAQs, glossary changes, alternative adherence paths, equivalencies and addenda changes. Additionally, advisors provided feedback on linkages between WELL v2 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, helping to demonstrate the integration of WELL into the global sustainability movement.
