Congratulations to Nasim Ildiri on her paper, “Impact of WELL certification on occupant satisfaction and perceived health, well-being, and productivity: A multi-office pre- versus post-occupancy evaluation,” which has been published in the Building and Environment journal.
WELL Building Standard (WELL) is one of the most comprehensive and fastest growing standards that focuses primarily on the health and well-being of building occupants. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of WELL in achieving its goal. The longitudinal study presented in this paper comprehensively analyzed the impacts of WELL certification on a large cohort of occupants from four perspectives: satisfaction with the workplace and perceived health (physical and mental), well-being, and productivity. The authors’ analyses showed that transitioning to WELL certified offices from non-WELL certified offices had a positive impact on occupants across all the studied parameters, with increases in means from pre- to post-occupancy being highly statistically significant.
