    Interpretation: My project is an existing project; does Feature 7 apply to my project?
    Ruling: For existing projects, it must be demonstrated that the requirements of Feature 7 were met for all construction/renovation/alteration activity that took place during the process of readying the project for WELL certification and all construction/renovation/alteration activity that occurred within 1 year prior to the WELL project registration. If no such activity took place within 1 year prior to the WELL project registration, the feature requirements are met.
