The China standard GB50034-2013 has been approved to meet the requirements of Feature 53 Part 1a.

For Feature 53, Part 1 add Policy Document as required documentation, along with Architect Letter of Assurance and Spot Measurement. This policy document should be used to confirm the requirements of Part 1c of this feature.

For Part 2b, remove: "Lights" before "provide not more than…". Add: "During the nighttime, lights"

Projects pursuing option a, in place of a letter of assurance and on-site spot checks as indicated in the Performance Verification Guidebook, may provide an annotated floor plan which identifies a subset of workstations that comprise at least 75% of the total number present on site. During Performance Verification, the WELL Performance Testing Agent will restrict sampling to these workstations, and compliance with this feature will be based on 100% of samples equaling or exceeding 200 equivalent melanopic lux.

Remove: "Light models or light calculations (which may incorporate daylight) show that at least 250 equivalent melanopic lux is present at 75% or more of workstations, measured on the vertical plane facing forward, 1.2 m [4 ft] above finished floor (to stimulate the view of the occupant). This light level is present for at least 4 hours per day for every day of the year". Add: "At 75% or more of workstations, at least 200 equivalent melanopic lux is present, measured on the vertical plane facing forward, 1.2 m [4 ft] above finished floor (to simulate the view of the occupant). This light level may incorporate daylight, and is present for at least the hours between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM for every day of the year"

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.

In Part 1b, change “For all workstations, electric lights provide…” to “For all workstations, electric lights (which may include task lighting) provide…”

At workstations, desks, and other seating areas in regularly occupied spaces, one of the following requirements areis met:
