Please click on the Project Scenario B button to review the project scenario and answer the following question.
BAY TOWERS BY BAYLEAF - SEATTLE, UNITED STATES - PROJECT SCENARIO B. Bay Towers by Bayleaf is a 20-floor commercial building overlooking Elliot Bay in Seattle, United States. The building enjoys abundant natural light through floor to ceiling windows which take in Elliot Bay city views. Although located behind a major highway (four-lanes of traffic), there is a pedestrian bridge which connects their ground floor reception to the riverfront park on the other side of the highway.

The building is owned and operated by Bayleaf Inc., a real-estate organization. The building is leased at a 70% occupancy rate by a range of tenants, including those in finance, technology and healthcare. The total expected occupancy of the building is 1,000 people.

Bay Towers is mechanically ventilated and currently has MERV 11 filters. As the building owner, Bayleaf provides HVAC fit-out for tenant spaces, but tenants complete the interior walls and supply the finishes and furniture themselves.
While no food is provided by Bayleaf, some individual tenants do have pantries where they provide their own snacks and beverages for their own employees.

Bayleaf manages the building and operates the ground floor which includes the reception, building management office, meeting rooms, as well as the elevator banks on each floor and the rooftop. Meeting rooms are common amenities that are able to be booked by the tenants. Bayleaf has two employees that work at desks onsite, a receptionist at the front desk and a property manager in the building management office.

PROJECT SCOPE & GOALS

Bayleaf has enrolled Bay Towers for WELL Core Certification to attract and retain high-quality tenants and address growing tenant demand for well-being facilities.

As part of the WELL Core Certification scope, Bayleaf intends to renovate their ground floor and are open to leveraging some of this space to include health and well-being programming.

The scope of renovation will also include upgrades to the base building, such as staircases, end-of- trip facilities and the air filtration system. The rooftop will also be converted into a public green space for tenants to use for recreation. Tables, chairs and barbeque facilities will be added, as well as several gardens, including edible plots and lawn areas.

Bayleaf is hoping their WELL Core Certification will provide some initial feature compliance for tenants wishing to also pursue WELL Certification for their spaces.

Although the current MERV 11 filters in the return air ducts contribute toward compliance with Feature A04:
Construction Pollution Management, the installation of MERV 14 filters could help to achieve which additional feature?

  1. Feature A12: Air Filtration
  2. Feature A13: Enhanced Supply Air
  3. Feature A06: Enhanced Ventilation Design
  4. Feature A09: Pollution Infiltration Management

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The installation of MERV 14 filters could help to achieve Feature A12: Air Filtration, which requires projects with mechanically ventilated spaces to implement adequate air filtration and document a maintenance protocol for installed filters. The project scenario indicates that the building is mechanically ventilated and currently has MERV 11 filters. By upgrading to MERV 14 filters, the project could meet the minimum air filtration efficiency for outdoor air supplied to the space, depending on the annual average outdoor PM2.5 level. For example, if the outdoor PM2.5 level is between 24-39 µg/m³, the project would need to use media filters with an average removal efficiency of 75% for particles 0.3-1 µm in size (e.g., MERV 14, F8 or ePM1 75%)1.

The project team is deciding how much effort to put into the redesign of the existing staircase located immediately adjacent to the main point of entry of the building, which services all floors of the project.
Which of the following design strategies should the WELL AP suggest to earn the project team the maximum number of points within Feature V03: Circulation Network?

  1. Add benches at each floor landing, as well as point-of-decision signage adjacent to the stairwell encouraging the use of the elevators
  2. Add artwork and soft music at each floor landing, as well as point-of-decision signage adjacent to the elevator bay encouraging the use of the stairwell
  3. Add water bottle filling stations at every floor landing, as well as point-of-decision signage at the main point of entry encouraging the use of the stairwell
  4. Add screens showing temperature and humidity at every floor landing, as well as point-of-decision signage at the main point of entry encouraging the use of the elevators

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The best design strategy to earn the maximum number of points within Feature V03: Circulation Network is to add artwork and soft music at each floor landing, as well as point-of-decision signage adjacent to the elevator bay encouraging the use of the stairwell. This would meet the requirements of Part 1: Design Aesthetic Circulation Networks and Part 2: Integrate Point-of-Decision Signage, which are both worth one point each. The other options either do not meet the aesthetic design criteria, do not provide point-of-decision signage, or discourage stair use instead of promoting it.

There is evidence to suggest that environments with poor acoustics may lead to an increase in which of the following health impacts?

  1. Dementia
  2. Hypertension
  3. Insulin resistance
  4. Chronic inflammation

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Environments with poor acoustics may lead to an increase in hypertension, which is high blood pressure. Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke, and can be caused or worsened by exposure to environmental noise. According to the World Health Organization, environmental noise is the second largest environmental cause of health problems in Western

Europe, after air pollution1. Feature S01 aims to reduce the negative impacts of noise on health and well-being by requiring projects to conduct sound mapping and implement noise mitigation strategies.

Which of the following filters can assist with the removal of organic chemicals from water intended for human consumption?

  1. Carbon
  2. HEPA.
  3. MERV
  4. Sediment

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Carbon filters can assist with the removal of organic chemicals from water intended for human consumption. Carbon filters use activated carbon, which has a large surface area and high adsorption capacity, to trap organic molecules and reduce their concentration in water. Carbon filters can effectively remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, chlorinated solvents, and other organic contaminants that may pose health risks or affect the taste and odor of water12.

What type of test should a building owner use to assess the building envelope's performance in regard to moisture protection?

  1. Water pH test
  2. Isotope tracing
  3. Air tightness test
  4. Mold spore sampling

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A building owner should use an air tightness test to assess the building envelope's performance in regard to moisture protection. An air tightness test measures the rate of air leakage through the building envelope, which can indicate the potential for moisture infiltration and condensation. Moisture can enter buildings and building assemblies in four ways: bulk water, capillary water, air- transported moisture and vapor diffusion. Air-transported moisture is the most significant source of moisture problems in buildings, as it can carry large amounts of water vapor through small openings and gaps in the envelope. By conducting an air tightness test, the building owner can identify and seal any air leaks that could compromise the moisture protection of the building envelope.

An owner of a new commercial office building is interested in achieving Feature N08: Mindful Eating.
What space would need to be included and what is the maximum allowable distance from the project boundary?

  1. Multi-use lounge within 500 ft. (152 m) walking distance of the project boundary
  2. Multi-use lounge within 650 ft. (200 m) walking distance of the project boundary
  3. Dedicated eating areas within 500 ft. (152 m) walking distance of the project boundary
  4. Dedicated eating areas within 650 ft. (200 m) walking distance of the project boundary

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

For WELL Feature N08: Mindful Eating, the requirement is to have dedicated eating spaces located within a 650 ft walk distance from the project boundary. These spaces must include amenities like tables and chairs to accommodate at least 25% of regular occupants at peak occupancy and provide protection from environmental elements or be situated in a climate-controlled space, supporting mindful eating behaviors and communal dining opportunities.



A small percentage of building occupants report chronic thermal discomfort.
What strategy should be used to address this problem?

  1. Install ceiling fans
  2. Reduce relative humidity
  3. Lock thermostat setpoints
  4. Offer personal heating/cooling devices

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Offering personal heating/cooling devices is the best strategy to address the problem of chronic thermal discomfort among a small percentage of building occupants. This strategy allows occupants to adjust their local thermal environment according to their individual preferences and needs, which can improve their satisfaction and comfort. Personal heating/cooling devices can include fans, heaters, foot warmers, radiant panels, or under-desk air terminals. The other options either do not address the individual differences in thermal comfort or may worsen the problem by creating uniform and inflexible thermal conditions.
