This is a milestone in our effort to advance the idea of healthier people through better buildings.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nOne of the reasons for WELL\u2019s success, said Fedrizzi, is its ability to engage the market\u2019s imagination and improve its access to the information it needs to put people at the center of design and operations decisions.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s why we are launching Build WELL &#8211;\u00a0the WELL app for iOS and Android. The app contains the entire WELL Building Standard in a navigable mobile format, and it\u2019s accessible offline, making it handy for on-the-go\/on-the-job use.\u201d Access more information on the Build WELL app and links to download it on the app landing page, or install it directly for iOS devices or Android.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe WELL app will also house the entire suite of WELLographies, the culmination of a multi-year effort to aggregate research and provide access to the best information available that supports each of the features in the WELL Building Standard. The first two WELLographies, Nourishment and Fitness, are available on the WELL app now. The remaining WELLographies will be rolled out between now and the end of the year.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cIn the palm of your hand, you can go to the WELL Building Standard, look up parameters of the Fitness concept, then dive into the WELLography that gives you scientific support for aspects of features you may be considering for your project,\u201d says Fedrizzi. \u201cWe think WELL users will appreciate the convenience, flexibility, and intuitiveness of this tool, and there\u2019s more to come.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFedrizzi noted that both of these offerings will enhance WELL\u2019s infrastructure to support the upcoming launch of the WELL Community Standard, a district-scale rating system centered on strategies and designs developed to improve health and wellness, along with the addition of WELL Portfolio as a certification pathway that rewards a commitment to ongoing enhancements across multiple existing buildings in a portfolio. These initiatives lay the groundwork for WELL v2, the next version of the standard, which will be launched in the first quarter of 2018.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cSo much of our success is due to our WELL APs, a community that brings education about WELL to their colleagues and clients around the world,\u201d says Fedrizzi. \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to ramp up our support of their work through new tools, monthly webcasts, and an array of new educational resources.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn addition, said Fedrizzi, IWBI is doubling down on research initiatives and public policy outreach.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201cEvery step of this journey we are taking together advances our understanding of the impact of better decisions about our buildings and improves the health and wellness of the people we care about,\u201d says Fedrizzi.\u00a0 \u201cAnd in my mind, that\u2019s the most important work we can do.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellcertified.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">For more information about IWBI and WELL, visit here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) has announced that it has crossed the 100 million square foot mark for buildings registered and certified under the WELL Building Standard (WELL).\u00a0\u00a0IWBI used the occasion to also launch Build WELL, its mobile application, premiere the WELLographies, compilations of human health and technical research that explore the connection between<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":".@WELLcertified Unveils a Mobile Application and WELLographies","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[201],"tags":[25234,7700,7701,3068,7809,7703,25233],"ppma_author":[48882],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
