3MSE’s building technology services can help you achieve higher WELL scores by ensuring reliability, occupant wellbeing, and sustainable use of Energy.
What is WELL?
The WELL Building Standard is a globally recognized framework that puts people at the heart of building design, focusing on their health, comfort, and well-being. From air quality to lighting, WELL Certification ensures your building meets the highest standards for enhancing the physical and mental well-being of occupants.
Achieving WELL Certification doesn’t just benefit occupants—it’s also a powerful tool for building managers. WELL-certified spaces attract tenants, improve employee performance, and signal a commitment to sustainability and human-centric design.
Better Occupant Experience
Buildings with WELL Certification enjoy higher levels of productivity, creativity, and well-being, making them desirable spaces for tenants and employees alike.
Increased Property Value
In the current real estate market, Wellbeing driven buildings are highly valued. Excellent WELL certifications are a great way to increase your occupancy rates without lowering prices.
Sustainability and Compliance
WELL aligns with ESG goals and broader sustainability standards, helping you meet compliance targets while supporting decarbonization and environmental performance.
3MSE Air Quality Systems Improve
A key pillar of WELL Building Standard is ensuring clean air for building occupants. 3MSE’s advanced Building Management Systems (BMS) optimize air quality through automated control of HVAC systems. Our solutions include the installation of air quality sensors that monitor CO2 levels, humidity, and particulate matter in real-time, ensuring that ventilation systems automatically adjust to maintain optimal indoor air conditions. By improving airflow, filtration, and pollutant control, we help you meet the air quality criteria required for WELL certification.
3MSE Integrates Smart Lighting
Our BMS allow building operators to create environments that align with natural circadian rhythms through smart lighting systems. We integrate automated controls for lighting and temperature to ensure consistent comfort, reducing glare and optimizing indoor environments for productivity and well-being. These solutions support key WELL concepts such as Light and Thermal Comfort, improving the occupant experience while boosting energy efficiency.
FAQ's about the WELL Standard
What is the WELL Building Standard?
The WELL Building Standard is a global performance-based certification system that focuses on human health and well-being within the built environment. It assesses how building design, construction, and operation impact the physical and mental health of occupants, aiming to create spaces that improve air, water, light, fitness, comfort, and overall well-being.
What are the main categories of the WELL Building Standard?
The WELL Standard is organized into several categories, known as Concepts, which include:
- Air: Promoting clean air through enhanced ventilation, filtration, and control of pollutants.
- Water: Ensuring access to safe, clean water.
- Nourishment: Encouraging healthier food choices and promoting nutrition.
- Light: Optimizing lighting conditions to enhance mood, productivity, and sleep quality.
- Movement: Encouraging physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior.
- Thermal Comfort: Ensuring comfortable indoor temperature and humidity levels.
- Sound: Reducing noise disturbances and promoting acoustic comfort.
- Materials: Selecting safe, non-toxic materials in construction and furnishings.
- Mind: Fostering mental well-being through thoughtful design and amenities.
- Community: Supporting social interaction and community engagement within buildings.
How does the WELL Standard improve air quality?
The WELL Building Standard focuses on indoor air quality through increased ventilation, effective filtration, and the reduction of harmful pollutants like VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and particulate matter. WELL-certified buildings implement advanced air quality monitoring and control systems to ensure a consistently healthy breathing environment for occupants.
Who can benefit from the WELL Building Standard?
Any organization that wants to prioritize the health and well-being of its occupants can benefit from WELL certification. This includes office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and residential developments. WELL helps create environments where people feel better, perform better, and thrive.
What are the benefits of WELL Certification?
WELL Certification offers a variety of benefits, including:
- Improved occupant health, satisfaction, and productivity.
- Enhanced marketability of the building as a premium, health-focused environment.
- Demonstrated commitment to sustainability and wellness, contributing to corporate social responsibility goals.
- Increased asset value by aligning with modern trends in green and healthy building standards.
How does WELL relate to other building certifications like LEED or BREEAM?
WELL complements other sustainability certifications like LEED and BREEAM by focusing specifically on human health and well-being. While LEED and BREEAM primarily address environmental impacts of a building, such as energy efficiency and resource management, WELL goes further by prioritizing the health, comfort, and wellness of building occupants. Many projects pursue multiple certifications to align with both environmental and wellness goals.
How does a WELL-certified building support sustainability goals?
WELL-certified buildings often contribute to sustainability by promoting energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and responsible water management. Additionally, WELL’s focus on air and water quality, waste reduction, and natural lighting aligns with broader environmental goals, supporting healthier environments for both people and the planet.
