Manufacturer's Guide to WELL

AIR
Preconditions:

Feature 4 VOC Reduction, part 3, 5

To minimize the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in building materials on indoor air quality, this feature outlines VOC emissions requirements for furniture and furnishings.​​
Feature 11 Fundamental Material Safety, part 1

To reduce or eliminate occupant exposure to hazardous materials, this feature outlines restrictions and abatement strategies pertaining to lead, asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Optimizations:

Feature 25 Toxic Material Reduction, parts 1-3, 5

To minimize the impact of hazardous building material chemicals on indoor air quality and support the health of manufacturing and maintenance workers, this feature outlines limitations or restrictions on ingredients such as perfluorinated compounds, flame retardants, phthalate (plasticizers), isocyanate-based polyurethane and urea-formaldehyde.
Feature 26 Enhanced Material Safety, part 1

To minimize the impact of hazardous building material ingredients on indoor air quality and help support health manufacturing and maintenance workers, this feature outlines requirements for voluntary product screening programs for 25% of all furnishings, built-in furniture, interior finishes and finish materials (calculated by cost).
Feature 28 Cleanable Environment, part 1-2

To reduce occupant exposure to pathogens on high-touch surfaces, this feature outlines requirements for material properties and cleanability.
LIGHT
Optimizations:

Feature 59 Surface Design
To increase overall room brightness through reflected light from room surfaces and avoiding glare, this feature outlines requirements for light reflectance values (LRV) for ceilings, walls and furniture systems.
FITNESS
Optimizations:

Feature 71 Active Furnishings
To reduce sedentary behavior by making active workstations readily available to occupants, this feature outlines requirements to incorporate active workstations and standing desk
COMFORT
Preconditions:

Feature 73 Ergonomics: Visual and Physical, part 2
To reduce physical strain and maximize ergonomics and safety, this feature outlines requirements for screen, desk and seat flexibility, including the provision of at least 30% of workstations with the ability to alternate between sitting and standing positions through various combinations.
Optimizations:

Feature 80 Sound Reducing Surfaces, part 2c
To reduce sound reverberation and maintain comfortable sound levels though absorptive ceiling and wall surfaces, this feature outlines requirements for noise reduction coefficients (NRC) for ceilings and walls. Flooring, furniture and furnishings can contribute to spatial acoustic levels.
MIND
Preconditions:

Feature 88 Biophilia I: Qualitative, part 2
To nurture the innate human-nature connection within the project, this feature outlines opportunities for flooring, furniture, furnishings to contribute to overall biophilic design and natural pattern incorporation strategies.
Optimizations:
Feature 97 Material Transparency
To promote material transparency along the supply chain, this feature outlines transparency and accessibility to material ingredient exposures.
