EMBODIED CARBON IN GREEN RATING SYSTEMS

WELL

International WELL Building Institute’s (IWBI) WELL Building Standard, Version 2.0

Background

Launched in 2014, the WELL Building Standard was developed using scientific and medical research to support and advance human health and wellness within buildings, interior spaces, and communities. There are ten concepts within WELL version 2.0: air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. Each concept consists of features with specific health intents.

Credits Related to Embodied Carbon

Due to WELL’s focus on healthy interior spaces, there are currently no credits on embodied carbon that structural engineers can aid the project team in achieving.
