We spend over 90% of our time indoors. Accordingly, we at Delos believe that buildings should be developed with people’s health and wellness at the center of design, and in October 2014 introduced to the marketplace the WELL Building Standard. The WELL Building Standard takes a holistic approach to health in the built environment addressing behavior, operations and design. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. WELL is grounded in a body of medical research that explores the connection between the buildings, and the health and wellness impacts on us as occupants. WELL Certified™ spaces developments can help create a built environment that improves the nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep patterns and performance of its occupants.
