102. Innovation feature II
The WELL Building Standard encourages project teams to propose novel wellness features that promote wellness in ways that are not already addressed.
Part 1: Displacement Ventilation Design and Application
One of the following is met for projects implementing a displacement ventilation system for heating and/or cooling:
a.41 Low side wall air distribution with the air supply temperature slightly cooler or warmer than the desired space temperature. The system must use the System Performance Evaluation and ASHRAE Guidelines RP-949 as the basis for design.
b.37 Underfloor Air Distribution (UFAD) with the air supply temperature slightly cooler or warmer than the desired space temperature. This system must use ASHRAE's UFAD Guide (Design, Construction and Operations of Underfloor Air Distribution Systems) as the basis of design. Displacement ventilation applied as part of an underfloor air distribution system must be installed at a raised floor height whereby the underfloor area can be cleaned on an annual basis.
Part 2: Innovation 2 Support
The feature is supported by the following:
a. The feature is fully substantiated by existing scientific, medical, and industry research and is consistent with applicable laws and regulations and leading practices in building design and management.
