This full-day workshop is the definitive introduction to WELL. Participants will build on introductory topics, such as the organization and development of the WELL Building Standard, to intermediate topics, which outline key process within WELL Certification.
​
Key public health research is discussed to provide a basis for the seven WELL Concepts, and project support tools and resources are outlined.
The process for developing Alternative Adherence Paths are presented in the context of a scenario, as well as procedures for seeking equivalencies, using Crosswalks, and developing innovations.
​
Finally, preconditions are presented in the context of a project scenario, and a breakout activity which utilizes expert groups and a project checklist allows participants to consolidate their learning.
