International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)<\/a> has announced the formation of a network of global concept advisories to explore, better understand and, ultimately, more accurately quantify the impact of specific health intents captured in the 10 WELL concepts \u2013 Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Materials, Sound, Mind and Community. <\/p>\n\u201cThis is a step forward for IWBI, deepening our understanding of how our buildings affect people across these concepts, which the evidence tells us have an impact on how we feel, how healthy we are and how we can thrive,\u201d says IWBI Chairman and CEO Rick Fedrizzi. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe launch of WELL v2TM, the next version of the WELL Building Standard, was another step in the evolution of WELL,\u201d he says. \u201cThese concept advisories will propel the movement, advancing both the impact and importance of healthy building in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each WELL concept advisory includes a collection of professionals, practitioners and experts, each serving a one-year term. WELL concept advisors will number more than 100 individuals, span 20 countries and represent WELL advocates not just from global market centers (like New York, London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Addis Ababa and Sydney) but a number of smaller municipalities in between. They cover an array of technical, scientific and medical fields.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs an organization, IWBI continues to raise the bar for buildings designed with the health of people at the forefront,\u201d Fedrizzi adds. \u201cThe formation of these WELL concept advisories is a validation of how far we\u2019ve traveled as an organization, but more importantly they represent an investment in the future of WELL and its ability to transform our buildings and communities to improve human health.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
