The Green Business Certification Institute (GBCI), which also administers the LEED professional credentialing and certification programs, provides certification for the WELL Building Standard.

WELL-certified buildings and developments help create a better and conducive built environment for humans that improve their mood, health, fitness, nutrition, and sleeping patterns. The basis of WELL is extensive and in-depth medical research that establishes that there is a direct relationship between the health and wellness of building occupants and its environment. This organization's mission is to improve the health and well-being of the human population. International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), a public benefit corporation, manages and administers WELL. The requirements create solutions related to how buildings impact humans' health and well-being through water, air, light, comfort, nourishment, mind, and fitness. It is a performance-based system of rating that companies use to measure, certify, and monitor built environment features. The following versions of LEED are now eligible for streamlined certification with WELL v2: LEED v4 BD+C, LEED v4 ID+C, LEED v4.1 BD+C, and LEED v4.1 ID+C.Using our data-driven and methodical WELL building consulting services, we guide commercial business owners to achieve a WELL v2 certificate for their organizations.

FAQ / Help Center Questions - Found in the USGBC help center, these FAQs speak to specific project questions and scenarios. Over 300 projects representing more than 80 million square feet have opted into process for dual LEED and WELL Certification.

LEED + WELL Streamlined Certification Process Guide - This document outlines the process, requirements, and implementation tools available to project teams.

Project teams complete the form to identify which compliance paths are being utilized and communicate that information to the review team.

LEED + WELL Submittal Form - This form is required for both LEED and WELL certification reviews.

As buildings are being designed, project teams can use the crosswalk to identify where LEED and WELL are aligned and which strategies and initiatives support both programs.

LEED + WELL Crosswalk - This tool shows how individual LEED credits map to specific WELL features and vice versa.

This strategic partnership underscores that human health and planetary health are inextricably linked.”Ī new suite of tools and resources is available to applicants interested in pursuing LEED and WELL certifications, including:

“This new pathway strengthens synergies between LEED and WELL, supporting projects pursuing both gold standard certifications. “Organizations are looking for actionable, efficient strategies to demonstrate meaningful impact on matters of climate change and human health,” said Rachel Hodgdon, president and CEO, IWBI.

By creating a streamlined process for LEED and WELL certification, we are encouraging every building owner and project team to adopt best practices that maximize benefits to occupant and community health.” “Improving human health has been a foundational component of LEED since its inception and is the goal of each of the 10 concepts within the WELL Building Standard. “USGBC’s partnership with IWBI builds upon our shared commitment to driving positive health outcomes across the built environment,” said Peter Templeton, president and CEO of USGBC and GBCI.
