PROBLEM STATEMENT
• NY Times: Is your conference room air making you dumber?
• Buildings as a whole are often over ventilated while critical
spaces (i.e. conference rooms) are often under ventilated
• Building controls typically don’t implement DCV properly - if at all
BETTER
BUILDINGS
WELL positions building design and
operations as agents of public health.
WELL measures, verifies and monitors
building features that impact health and
well-being.
