Showcase Your Healthy Building with Dual Certifications

摘要

How many certifications does your building have? For most facilities, that answer is one. But in some cases, it makes sense to obtain additional building certifications. Two such programs, the WELL Building Standard and the LEED rating system, are made to complement each other. "The biggest difference is that LEED overall is about sustainability, building materials, energy efficiency and the environment, whereas WELL is much more about human sustainabil-ity," explains Irene Nigaglioni, Partner of PBK Architects. "WELL adds in the components of health and wellness, nourishment, fitness, comfort and mind, which LEED does not have. One builds on the other."
