A dynamic rating system for the built environment that combines best practices in design and construction with evidence-based health and wellness interventions, the WELL Building Standard® is a significant new development for the building industry.
WELL is a culmination of research and development by leading professionals in medicine, science, and the green building and construction industry.
The overall aim of the WELL Building Standard is to improve and protect the health and wellness of building occupants.
The WELL AP exam tests an exam candidate’s knowledge of and experience with the WELL Building Standard. Before attempting to take the exam, candidates should ensure that they understand the requirements and references for the exam.
A good study plan can also be used to ensure success on exam day. This exam preparation workshop training provides a detailed and efficient approach to studying.
The content covered emphasizes the mastery of the WELL Building Standard, the seven WELL Concepts, all 105 features and their requirements, and the WELL certification process.
