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.

A residential building has a small atrium.
Which of the following should the WELL AP recommend to contribute toward Feature M07: Restorative Spaces?

  1. Table tennis table
  2. Fresh fruit options
  3. Filtered water dispenser
  4. Moveable seating arrangements

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Moveable seating arrangements should be recommended to contribute toward Feature M07:
Restorative Spaces, which requires projects to provide spaces that promote a restorative environment and encourage relief from mental fatigue and stress. Moveable seating arrangements can accommodate a range of user preferences and activities, such as sitting, lying down, meditating, reading, or socializing. They can also create a sense of control and comfort for the occupants, as they can adjust the seating to suit their needs and moods. The other options are not directly related to the restorative function of the space, and may even distract or disrupt the occupants from relaxing and restoring.
