Quarterly testing for inorganic metals ensures that water quality is

maintained year-round. This feature requires that detailed

records are kept of all tests, and that a remediation plan is in place

for cases where unacceptable water quality has been detected.

Building Flush-Out

By strategically designing the height of air ventilation, displacement

ventilation can enhance air change effectiveness. Displacement

ventilation supplies air at very low level, which then rises to the ceiling.

This feature requires the separation of raw foods from prepared foods in

The digestive system consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small

and large intestines, and the auxiliary organs –

liver and pancreas. This complex system is responsible for nutrient breakdown, absorption,

and hormones.

Nourishment

The endocrine system is made up of hormone-secreting glands.

The immune system is a complex cohort of highly specialized cells, proteins, tissues and organs that

make up the body’s defense system against internal and foreign stress

agents. It is affected by the cumulative effect of toxins, poor

sleep, and nutrition.

The skin, hair and nails form the outer layer of the body, or the

integumentary system. It functions to protect internal organs from

impact, prevents water loss, regulates body temperature and protects the body against foreign

pathogens and harmful toxins.

The human muscular system is comprised of skeletal, smooth and

cardiac muscle. It supports posture, movement, blood circulation and digestion. The muscular system is

also responsible for generating heat through the contraction of muscles.

The nervous system includes the central nervous system, made up of the brain

and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, composed of nerves.

The nervous system is directly and indirectly responsible for controlling

nearly every bodily process, including movement, cognitive processes and

maintenance of vital organ functions.

The reproductive system consists of hormone-secreting glands in the brain and the reproductive organs. Failure to

maintain proper reproductive health can have negative consequences on

overall health. Further, the effects of this system are broad-reaching and can

have an impact on personal and prenatal health.

The respiratory system includes the mouth, nose, diaphragm, the trachea and the airways that reach deep into

the lungs. The respiratory system works in tandem with the circulatory

system in order to provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the

body tissues.

The skeletal system provides support and movement, protects internal

organs against impact, stores minerals, produces blood cells and

aids in hormone regulation. Similarly to the closely related muscular

system, skeletal health is strongly affected by proper nutrition and

adequate levels of physical activity.

The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and the

urethra. The urinary system serves a number of critical functions, including

the filtration of toxins, balance of blood pH and electrolytes, maintenance of

blood pressure and the elimination of waste through urine.

Exterior Noise Intrusion sets indoor level limits for noises

originating outside of the building. These limits help to ensure that exterior noise does not distract

building occupants.

An acoustic plan is developed that identifies loud and quiet zones,

and noisy equipment in the space.

Thermal comfort within the body is provided through

homeothermy, which is the balancing of heat gains and losses

to maintain the body's core temperature within its narrow

range, 97-100°F.

ASHRAE 55 specifies that thermal comfort can be achieved either through the Standard Comfort Zone or the Adaptive Comfort

Zone.

These spaces must meet the criteria according to ASHRAE

Standard 55-2013 Section 5.4, Adaptive Comfort Model.

These spaces must meet the design, operating and

performance criteria according to ASHRAE Standard 55-2013 Section

5.3, Standard Comfort Zone Compliance.

What items affect an individual's thermal comfort?

True or False? The smaller the NRC value, the

conditions?

156 155




Reverberation time, or RT60, is a metric which describes the length of

time taken for a sound to decay by 60 dB from its original level. This feature seeks to establish lower reverberation

time to help maintain comfortable sound levels and can be met by using

sound-absorbing materials.

This feature supports building policies that discourage strong

smells from chemicals and fragrances, trying to keep interior

environments odorless.

The noise reduction coefficient (NRC) is an average value that

determines the absorptive properties of materials.

Sound masking systems supply a low level of background noise to provide workers with a degree of

confidentiality in their communications and can decrease distraction associated with aural

interruptions.

False - the larger the NRC value, the better the material is at

absorbing sound.

Metabolism, body type, and clothing are all factors that can

affect someone's thermal comfort.

162 161




The term "free address" refers to a building providing areas with different thermal gradients, as well as individual

thermal comfort devices so that the occupant can choose areas with temperatures that best fit their

thermal preferences.

Systems are more energy efficient now. Other benefits include saved

floor space, lower dust transportation and increased thermal

comfort through the separation of temperature controls and fresh air

supply systems.

When released, serotonin can elevate mood and regulate the

sleep cycle.

Major depression is one of the most common mood disorders,

affecting about 16 millions adults.

The WELL Building standard for Mind requires design, technology and treatment strategies designed to provide a physical environment

that optimizes cognitive and emotional health.

Health literacy is defined by the Institute of Medicine as "the degree to which individuals can obtain, process,

and understand the basic health information and services they need to make appropriate health decisions".

A digital and/or physical library of resources that focuses on mental and physical health should contain at least

one book title or on magazine subscription for every 20 occupants

and should be prominently displayed and readily available.

Stakeholders need to meet during pre-design planning, design

development, construction and post-construction. This is to determine and

ensure adherence to the collective wellness goals.

All stakeholders, including at a minimum the owner, architects,

engineers and facilities management team.

They will meet to perform a values assessment and alignment exercise within

the team to inform any project goals as well as strategies to meet occupant

expectations. They will also discuss needs of the occupants, focusing on wellness, and

set future meetings to stay focused on project goals and to engage future

stakeholders.

After construction is complete, the designers, owners, managers and

facilities staff must tour the building and discuss how building operations will support the WELL

Building Standard.

It is modeled after the Living Building Challenge. The

requirements involve conducting historical, cultural, ecological and climatic studies to inform biophilic elements and creating a biophilic framework that tracks biophilia at each design phase of the project.

Adequate sleep improves mental health and is necessary for

maintaining sustained mental and physical performance throughout the day. It can also help prevent

unhealthy weight gain.

Insufficient sleep has been associated with a higher risk of

depression, diabetes, heart attack, hypertension and stroke.

Research from the World Bank indicates that business travel is

associated with higher total medical claim costs related to stress. Also,

the main stressors of business travel are impacts on family and personal

life, jetlag, increased workload upon return and isolation from family and

friends.

Employers should provide at least three of the following to employees: employer-

based health insurance for part- and full-time workers, as well as their spouses and dependents. They should provide flexible

spending accounts, health savings accounts, on-site immunizations or time off during the workday to receive immunizations, and/or

workplace policies that encourage ill employees to stay home or work remotely.
