A new building project is to be located near a very busy road.
Which of the following strategies should the WELL AP recommend at an early stage to minimize acoustic disturbance?

  1. Noise levels from mechanical systems should be higher than external noise breaking in from outside
  2. There should be careful detailing of internal partition junctions where noise flanking between spaces can be an issue
  3. Personal headphones should be made available to all staff during peak hours of the day when the road traffic noise outside is at its highest
  4. Noise sensitive rooms should be located in the middle of the floor plate or along a facade that is physically shielded from external noise sources

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the WELL v2TM feature S01: Sound Mapping and Planning, the project must conduct a sound mapping analysis to identify the sources and levels of external and internal noise and develop an acoustical plan to address them1. One of the strategies suggested by the feature is to locate noise sensitive rooms away from external noise sources, such as busy roads, and provide adequate sound insulation for the facade1. This can help minimize acoustic disturbance and improve occupant comfort and well-being.

Based on the WELL Building StandardTM, what is a possible contributing factor to Type 2 diabetes?

  1. High consumption of seafood
  2. Low fruit and vegetable intake
  3. High consumption of caffeinated beverages
  4. Low consumption of sugar sweetened beverages

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the WELL v2TM feature N01: Fruits and Vegetables, increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables can help prevent and manage chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers1. Fruits and vegetables provide dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that can lower blood glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and modulate gut microbiota2. Low fruit and vegetable intake, on the other hand, can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by impairing glucose metabolism and insulin function3.
