Individual thermal control | WELL Standard

#24775 - The project team is only pursuing WELL Certification for a portion of the office. Does the project team need to consider all regular building occupants for the entire space within this WELL feature's scope in order to comply?

All employees within the project boundary would need to be counted as part of this feature's scope.

#25375 - How would a Core and Shell project meet Part 1 of this feature?

The owner must provide a compliant thermal gradient throughout the entire building, including tenant spaces for tenants with relevant spaces described in the feature. The owner does not have to regulate the free address requirement for tenants but must educate tenants on this policy.

#25376 - How would a Core and Shell project meet Part 2 of this feature?

The owner must provide thermal comfort devices throughout the entire building, including all tenant spaces.

#25222 - For Part 2, do projects need to purchase a personal thermal comfort device (such as a fan) for each occupant?

The project must provide thermal comfort devices to meet the expected and/or actual demand and commit to accommodate all additional occupant requests.

#25179 - Can open meeting rooms be used toward the free address requirements of Feature 82 Part 1b?

Yes, as long as occupants are able to freely move around to perform their work, this is considered compliant. However, if these meeting rooms are typically booked for other purposes and not available as free address workstations, then they will not count for this feature.
