An office pursuing WELL Certification offers no-cost group fitness classes (30 minutes, twice per week) and is pursuing V06: Physical Activity Opportunities for one point. The company's benefits package also includes a subsidy for employees to set individual physical activity and exercise goals and prizes when employees accomplish their goals. The project is hoping to use this to meet another feature.
What other feature can the WELL AP recommend to this project based on the offerings in the benefits package?

  1. V03: Circulation Network
  2. V09: Physical Activity Promotion
  3. V08: Physical Activity Spaces and Equipment
  4. C07: Enhanced Health and Well-Being Promotion

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Feature V09: Physical Activity Promotion requires projects to provide physical activity incentives or promotion programs and monitor uptake of offerings. The company's benefits package includes a subsidy and rewards for physical activity engagement, which are examples of incentive programs that can meet this feature. The project can also demonstrate the utilization rate of these programs to earn one point.

A WELL AP is monitoring the ongoing submission of documents required for a WELL Certified project.
Which strategy should the WELL AP use to ensure the requirements are met?

  1. Collect the appropriate documents annually and submit them through email
  2. Collect and submit all required documents at the 18 and 36 month marks of certification
  3. Collect and submit all required documents within 15 months of certification and every 12 months thereafter
  4. Develop a schedule with the project owner to collect the right information on an ongoing basis and submit every three years through the WELL digital platform

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Feature Z01 requires projects to submit documentation and verification of their WELL performance every three years through the WELL digital platform. This ensures that the project maintains its WELL certification and continues to meet the WELL standards. The WELL AP should develop a schedule with the project owner to collect the right information on an ongoing basis and submit it every three years through the WELL digital platform. The other options are not consistent with the WELL v2 requirements.

During a project review meeting, a member of the facility management team states that asbestos containing materials (ACMs) may be present within the project boundary.
What strategy should the project team follow to evaluate this issue?

  1. Notify any building occupants about the risk of ACMs
  2. Create an asbestos action plan to remediate the ACMs and schedule ongoing inspections
  3. Obtain a letter from the building owner affirming there are no known ACMs in the project boundary
  4. Hire a qualified inspector to investigate the project boundary and space to determine whether ACMs are present

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The best strategy to evaluate the issue of ACMs is to hire a qualified inspector to investigate the project boundary and space to determine whether ACMs are present. This is in accordance with Part 2 of Feature 11, which requires an on-site investigation of the space conducted by a certified risk assessor or inspector technician to identify any lead-based or asbestos hazards. If any hazards are found, the project must follow the work practice standards and occupant protection plan for conducting lead-based or asbestos abatement activities.
