IWBI announces well portfolio participation


KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 (Bernama) -- The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) announced today the first participants in WELL Portfolio, a new streamlined pathway for WELL Certification of multiple new or existing buildings and tenant spaces in a single portfolio.

Released as part of the WELL v2  pilot, the latest iteration of the WELL Building Standard (WELL) is part of a suite of enhancements to WELL which addresses the growing demand across the building industry for a programme that helps owners, developers and tenants streamline and scale health and wellness upgrades in their real estate assets.

The addition of an early-phase review process enabling projects to seek the WELL D&O designation introduced in WELL v2 allows portfolio projects to move through the certification process in a more streamlined and systematic fashion across their asset base.

The WELL Portfolio Pathway encourages owners to treat achieving WELL as a journey and not a destination, and to make incremental improvements across their portfolios over time, a statement said.

Tenants, developers and investors from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia have expressed interest in pursuing the WELL Portfolio Pathway, having already used WELL for individual buildings, and are now looking to bring the same value and evidence-based performance to their portfolios.

IWBI is leading the global movement to transform buildings and communities in ways that help people thrive.

WELL is focused exclusively on the ways that buildings and communities, and everything in them, can improve our comfort, drive better choices and generally enhance -- not compromise -- our health and wellness.
