For example, Reception Desks are provided with 150 equivalent melanopic lux from the electric lights". Add: "For all workstations, electric lights (which may include task lighting) provide maintained illuminance on the vertical plane of 150 equivalent melanopic lux or greater. Projects may use the lux recommendations in the Vertical (Ev) Targets for the 25-65 category in Table B1 of IES-ANSI RP-1-12 in place of 150"

To increase the delivered Equivalent Melanopic Lux and fulfill Feature 54, projects may provide task or other supplemental lighting at workstations upon request. Projects choosing to pursue this option must demonstrate that they have sufficient funding to procure task or other supplemental lighting for at least 75% of the total workstations within the WELL boundary. Projects must also provide comprehensive education to employees that focuses on the benefits of task or other supplemental lighting and circadian lighting overall.
Note that during the Performance Verification, the project must provide a sample of these task or other supplemental lights and coordinate the placement and the power source at each applicable workstation prior to the lighting measurements. A sufficient number of task or other supplemental lights should be provided so as to not impede the site visit schedule.

Inquiry: Can a daylighting analysis confirming that at least 90% of regularly occupied spaces have sufficient daylight illumination levels (at least 30 footcandles) and that 100% of spaces have access to quality outdoor views be used to meet the feature requirements?

Ruling: No, a daylighting simulation combined with access to quality views may not be utilized to meet the feature requirements. The intent of Feature 61 is to include proximity to windows, outdoor views, and daylight in indoor spaces.

In Part 2b, change “95% of all desks or regularly occupied seats…” to “95% of all workstations…”

In 24 Oct, 2016 AAP, add: "(Option 2 or Option 3)" after "Daylight Credit"

In 24 Oct, 2016 AAP, add: "for Option 2 or 75% for Option 3" after "90%"

For AAP with post date 27 Apr, 2017, after "Incentives for employees...with Feature 65", remove:
"Existing (Removed):
Incentives of a $200 amount provided to employees for demonstration of independent regular exercise, healthy eating habits, biometric screenings or other independent activities to promote a healthy lifestyle may be used as one of the two required compliance strategies for Feature 65."

Add: "Updated from AAP with post date 24 Oct, 2016."

programs offered in professional gyms or studios". Add: "d. A meaningful subsidy offered at least yearly towards the cost of an annual bicycle share membership"

Updated:
Comprehensive corporate wellness programs that offer meaningful incentives for regular physical activity or active commuting may be used to comply with Feature 65. Projects may also create company-sponsored sports teams, provided the sports teams are selected by the employees. Projects should ensure there is capacity to accommodate all employees who elect to participate and work with employees to accommodate similar incentives upon request. Projects must provide supporting documentation that demonstrates that the wellness offerings promote physical activity and incentivize employees to maintain regular levels of activity engagement or active commuting.

Existing (Removed):
As an alternative to one of the activity incentives provided under Feature 65, Part 1: Activity Incentive Programs, projects may create company sponsored sports teams, provided the sports teams are selected by the employees and ensure there is capacity to accommodate all employees who elect to participate.
Note that a second activity incentive program must be implemented in order to demonstrate achievement of Feature 65.

Remove: "Incentives that encourage greater levels of physical activity through reimbursement of gym memberships or other means of physical activity can help people develop and maintain regular exercise routines and achieve greater fitness levels".
Add: "However, the effectiveness of varying types of incentives (e.g., monetary, non-monetary), their distribution schedule, their magnitude, and their relationship to specific types of activity engagement remain largely unknown. In addition, implementation of physical activity incentives for different populations and geographic regions adds an additional layer of complexity in prescribing and implementing effective incentive programs. Therefore, projects play a fundamental role in defining and creating incentive programs that are meaningful to their project population and aim to help develop and maintain regular exercise and physical activity behaviors"

Remove: "a. Tax-exempt payroll deductions relating to bicycle commuting and mass transit (such as the
Transportation Fringe Benefits in Section 132(f) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) or a direct
subsidy for an equivalent amount". Add: "a. Tax-exempt payroll deductions relating to active transportation (e.g., a subsidy to purchase a personal bicycle) or mass transit (includes public transportation) use. Direct subsidies of an equivalent amount are also acceptable".
