WELL WELL-AP Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

A design for a WELL building has a dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity monitoring system. To achieve Feature T06: Thermal Comfort Monitoring the project team must confirm that

• A. sensors are located in occupiable areas 3.6 to 5.6 ft. (1.1 to 1.7 m) above the floor
• B. sensor readings are taken at least three times per hour
• C. sensors are installed for every 2,500 ft2 (232 m2) of occupiable floor area
• D. sensors are placed at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any significant source of heat or cold

Which of the following is an effective measure for a new construction project to reduce noise from nearby traffic?

• A. Suggest lightweight floor constructions below noise generating spaces
• B. Provide speech reinforcement and public address systems
• C. Recommend high STC or Rw performance values for the building facade, windows and any exterior penetrations
• D. Alter the room geometry and space layouts

MILO DESIGN STUDIO - SHENZHEN, CHINA - PROJECT SCENARIO A
MILO is a small, multi-disciplinary design studio with 30 employees located in Shenzhen, China. Their primary business is interior commercial fit-outs and they also offer sustainability consulting. Three of their employees have achieved their WELL AP credential.
They have recently leased one floor 21,528 ft.a (2 000 m2) in a building owned by another organization to use as their new studio office. This space includes floor to ceiling windows on all four exterior walls. While the windows are numerous, they are also highly tinted, with a visible light transmittance of approximately 0.35 (35%). They intend on installing several living plant walls and have included natural fibers and patterns in their finishings throughout.
Their building is located 984.25 ft. (300 m) from an underground train station and across the road (approx.
328.08 ft. (100 m)) from a large public park. While many employees have indicated that they bike to work on bike trails, the new building's landlord will not allow tenants to use the elevators to bring bicycles to their offices. Instead, their building has bike racks at the building entrance, an underground garage for bike storage, small rentable lockers and basic bike maintenance tools.
MILO considers itself a human-centric design firm and leads with a people-first approach through its employee benefits and organizational policies. As an example, they offer a 50% discount on several mindfulness apps and make guided meditation courses available twice per year to all employees on-site.
PROJECT SCOPE & GOALS
MILO has enrolled their office for WELL Certification to demonstrate their commitment to designing for well-being and employee health. They will be renovating and designing the entire fit-out themselves, including new space configurations that will prioritize natural light.
The space layout will include seating for 45 people in an open-plan office with hot-desking, three conference rooms and four individual phone booths. Additionally, they are planning to update lighting fixtures and purchase new office furniture. MILO do not provide any food or beverages on a daily basis except coffee and tea.
MILO is targeting WELL Certification at the Gold level or higher. This effort is being led by one of their inhouse WELL APs.
