“WELL AP Exam Prep” will be hosted virtually.

Most people spend up to 90 percent of their time in buildings – while the health of the building is highly critical, it is a component that was often overlooked. Now with the advent of COVID-19, our perspective on this component has changed: building designers and operators must re-examine how we navigate offices, restaurants, stores, schools, and residential common areas. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put out new guidelines for the health and safety of the indoor space. Fortunately, the WELL Building Standard® provides the knowledge necessary to make the health and well-being of building residents an even greater priority.

The WELL standard is an evidence-base verified rating system focused on operational policies, maintenance protocols, and the health of the occupants. WELL is grounded in the premise that buildings play a leading role in supporting the health and well-being of the residents.

Within this WELL course you will learn how to articulate the financial, societal, and environmental benefits of WELL certification, identify the role of the International Well Building Institute and the WELL Building Standard, recognize the structure of the WELL Building Standard, explain the seven concepts of the WELL Building standard, the strategies to achieve them, and the health impacts they address, and summarize the certification process of the WELL Building Standard.

The WELL AP Exam Prep Class will have nine sections which will be given over the course of one day. Upon completion of the class you will be eligible to sit for the WELL AP exam at a local testing center.
