Post-occupancy surveys | WELL Standard

#24768 - For a project that is a co-working space, how do project teams comply with this feature?

Projects that are operated as a co-working space should pursue the New & Existing Interiors project type. For this type of project, Feature 86 would apply to all regular building occupants.

#25430 - I am only pursuing WELL Certification for a portion of our office. Do I need to consider all regular building occupants for the entire space within this WELL feature's scope in order to comply?

F86 primarily addresses physical features within the project rather than organization level protocols or policies, therefore you are only required to consider regular occupants within the project boundary.

#25378 - How would a Core and Shell project meet this feature?

The owner must distribute a compliant survey to all occupants of the building, including all tenants' employees.

#25097 - When should the first post-occupancy survey be performed? Should post-occupancy surveys be conducted prior to performance verification?

The first post-occupancy survey should be conducted within a year after achieving certification. It is not required that the post-occupancy survey be conducted prior to performance verification; however, a policy document must be submitted during documentation that confirms that requirement will be met.

#24888 - If the project team is creating their own post-occupancy survey as an alternative, does the project team have to submit this as an AAP?

Yes, if the project team is creating their own post-occupancy survey, the team must submit this as an AAP. For project teams looking to use an already established, third-party survey, they can submit this as an Equivalency Proposal. All proposals should meet the requirements outlined in Feature 86 Parts 1 & 2.
