Strategies from the WELL Building Standard to Support in the Fight Against COVID-19
Buildings, communities and organizations play a leading role in supporting our health and well-being, as well as our collective ability to prepare for and respond to global health challenges like the one we’re experiencing now.
With its research backing and global focus, we believe that WELL can be an especially pertinent and helpful tool during this time. Many of the evidence-based strategies within it, spanning building design and operations, as well as company policies and culture, provide an actionable framework for organizations and communities responding to COVID-19 and preparing for a safer and healthier future.
To that end, we’ve identified and grouped select, applicable strategies from the WELL Building Standard v2 pilot (WELL v2) around key themes that reflect how organizations can approach prevention and preparedness, resilience and recovery in relation to COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, from enhancing air quality to supporting mental health. Each specific strategy is linked to more information within the digital version of the WELL v2 system.
