This enables project teams to classify the intended benefits of each WELL Feature and develop a comprehensive set of strategies. While there are different ways to group the body’s various systems, the WELL Building Standard considers each Feature’s impact on the following categories of body systems: Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, vessels and blood. Its primary function is to supply nutrients and remove waste from the tissues of the body. However, stress, unhealthy diets and lifestyle choices, and exposure to environmental pollutants can negatively impact cardiovascular health and lead to the development of chronic conditions that reduce quality of life. The WELL Building Standard addresses factors that are vital to maintaining cardiovascular health; stress, nutrition, fitness and environmental pollutants. Comfort Features are designed to mitigate stress and help limit harmful hormone levels in the body. Healthy diets and active lifestyles control body weight and strengthen the muscles of the heart. Elimination of environmental pollutants in air, such as tobacco and VOCs – which directly harm the heart and vessels – also contribute towards good cardiovascular health.

These chemicals contaminate rivers and groundwater through rainwater runoff and eventually make their way back up the food chain to people. This feature requires the creation of pest management systems that reduce pesticide and herbicide use and eliminate highly toxic chemicals. Most pest management systems do not prohibit the application of harmful chemicals, so this feature further requires that only approved products be used. 1 0 P e s t i c i d e M a n a g e m e n t Credit: WELL Building Standard, www.wellcertified.com

- 28. This feature aims to provide lighting conditions that reinforce the natural patterns of the human circadian cycle. The Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML) is a measurement of light’s effects on the circadian cycle. EML can be used to determine how interior lighting conditions may be optimized to support the circadian function. See Appendices L1 and L2 for more information on how to calculate the EML of individual lamps and larger spaces. Exposure to light regulates the circadian rhythm, which determines sleep and wake cycles. To promote alertness and activity, the human circadian cycle is most sensitive to lights of high frequency and intensity. Conversely, lights of low frequency and intensity signal the circadian rhythm to decrease energy and prepare for rest. 5 4 C i r c a d i a n L i g h t i n g D e s i g n Credit: WELL Building Standard, www.wellcertified.com

Interior pathways and stairs can provide a convenient and healthy means of active transportation utilizable year-round.

This feature employs prominent designs and appealing aesthetics to promote the use of stairs and walking paths and to discourage reliance on elevators. 6 4 I n t e r i o r F i t n e s s C i r c u l a t i o n Credit: WELL Building Standard, www.wellcertified.com

Integrating elements of active design into the building and site, and creating cyclist and pedestrian-friendly environments can help incentivize activity. Thoughtful urban planning considers the importance of locating popular amenities, such as restaurants, grocery stores and schools within walking distance of each other, enabling healthy habits, such as walking or cycling as active alternatives to a more sedentary mode of travel. This feature requires exterior design details and amenities that facilitate more active living. Incorporating these principles is particularly important for projects that are isolated from an urban center where automobile transportation predominates.be connected to high-traffic routes. 6 7 E x t e r i o r A c t i v e D e s i g n Credit: WELL Building Standard, www.wellcertified.com

Biophilia is an emerging field that recognizes our psychological need to be around life and life-like processes. Interior environments that are cold, sterile and devoid of life diminish our experience, mood and happiness and can even inhibit recovery time. This feature recognizes the importance of creating an interior environment that nurtures the innate human-nature connection. As modeled after the Living Building Challenge, the biophilia requirements involve conducting historical, cultural, ecological and climatic studies to inform biophilic elements and creating a biophilic framework that tracks biophilia at each design phase of the project. 8 8 B i o p h i l i a I - Q u a l i t a t i v e Credit: WELL Building Standard, www.wellcertified.com
