Green buildings provide healthy indoor environments and have a measurable positive impact on the health, wellbeing, and productivity of occupants, resulting in essential social and economic benefits. Though the well-being of occupants has been an integrated part of other green building certification systems, it has never been in the focus. WELL Building Standard uses research-backed strategies to advance health, mindfulness, and productivity and provides an objective rating system for livable buildings. ABUD always aimed to create a more human-centered, sustainable built environment. We conduct research in the field of occupant behavior and we are part of the Annex66 international project. Starting 2017, we provide professional assistance for design studios, investors and developers to gain the WELL Building Certificate.
