Course Description: AEC Daily: Healthy Interiors: Using the WELL Building Standard™ to Design Commercial Spaces of the Future
This course explores a 5,000-square-foot office expansion recently completed by Excel Dryer. The building owner was committed to reducing their environmental impact and building a beautiful, healthy, sustainable, and functional space. This course discusses the relevant tools for sustainable, healthy buildings, including the WELL Building Standard™ version 2 and the LEED® v4.1 Building Design and Construction rating system. The methods for achieving these goals are examined through various building products and systems: walls, furniture, HVAC, sound masking and acoustic systems, flooring, daylighting and solar shading, and plumbing.
Identify project goals related to the health and well-being of building occupants and the value of an integrated approach to design.
Recall the living wall example in the project and explain how it can help meet WELL v2™ and LEED v4.1 requirements for bringing natural materials and biophilic design elements into the indoor environment.
Discuss the importance of seeking low-VOC products with disclosed chemical inventories, such as a solid surface desk, as required by WELL v2 and LEED v4.1.
Identify integrated sink options and describe how they may contribute to satisfying the feature and credit requirements for WELL v2 and LEED v4.1.
