WELL v2版升級，包括了一整套強化手段，進一步體現IWBI在全球推動為所有人群打造健康人居環境的承諾。這次晉級前，IWBI吸收了全球34個國家已經認證或注冊的上千個項目中吸取的經驗教訓。全球項目從今日起可以立即注冊，爭取WELL認證。

IWBI首席產品官瑞秋·嘎特（Rachel Gutter）表示：“自從2014年WELL問世以來， WELL 使用者、業界實踐者、以及研究人員一直將WELL作為通過建筑體系為人們提供健康福祉的工具，我們從這些人群身上學到了很多經驗。”她還指出：“IWBI把最新的認知、領先的研究成果、先進的技術以及先進的建筑實踐結合起來，融入WELL v2版，并通過這樣的努力而把健康建筑的福利帶給更廣泛地域的更廣泛人群。”

WELL v2是一套全球性健康建筑評估系統，其真正意圖是在保持WELL全面性、科學證據可驗證性的前提下，即堅持項目性能必須經過驗證的原則，又能給予項目更多的支持，支持項目落實那些對項目及其人"至關重要的干預措施。WELL認證系統晉級的亮點包括：

重新推出一整套條款，必備的先決條件減少，但項目優化得分的權重增加；

把幾個針對不同物業類別的試行版標準匯總為“一個WELL”標準，把2017年推出的“所有物業類別都可認證”項目的內容有機地融入這次升級版的標準中；

為項目執行健康規劃提供新路徑，對既有建筑及商用空間室內認證項目給予高度重視；

早期提交驗證文件的項目有機會獲得WELL設計與運營的獲驗證資格，獲得“WELL D & O”標識，以彰顯項目認證前的里程碑階段性進展；

為項目的性能驗證提供新的解決方案，允許項目挑選本地的性能驗證服務商；

針對不同市場、不同行業的項目認證有不同的價格，以兌現IWBI讓全球人群都平等享受健康建筑福利的承諾，注重WELL落地性，并引入定制式的動態記分卡；

定價方面進行了全面的、大幅度的調整，包括一個全新的“訂購”式付費模式。

IWBI董事長兼首席執行官瑞克·費瑞奇（Rick Fedrizzi）表示：“全球的WELL使用者、研究人員及意見領袖在WELL v2制定過程中給于大力支"，IWBI團隊積極努力，將這些專家意見匯總，完成了今天這一更簡化、更清晰、更專注對健康有重要影響的領域、更重視投資回報性的新版標準。”他說：“我很高興WELL v2版給項目提供更佳的經濟實效性，這將刺激市場進一步接納WELL。”

WELL v1版階段，亞洲已成為WELL建筑標準全球領先市場。至今，亞洲有236個項目總共5800 多萬平方尺的面積已注冊，其中18個項目獲認證。中國是亞洲也是全球WELL注冊面積最大的市場。

保利地產集團 產品研發中心負責人邱武釗表示：“WELL建筑標準引入中國3年來得到了中國跨業態項目的踴躍響應。WELL標準以人為本、對健康環境的追求與保利地產踐行綠色建筑與創造美好生活的企業戰略不謀而合。”2017年，保利WELL綠建注冊項目共5個，合計52358平方米。邱武釗表示：“未來，保利地產將繼續攜手晉級后的WELL v2，結合保利全生命周期居住系統，共同創造健康人居典范。”

IWBI亞洲區總裁雪婭表示：“自從2015年進入中國市場，WELL至今在亞洲發展勢頭喜人，我們每天聽到來自項目的令人鼓舞的見證，親眼看到越來越多的人得以在WELL項目提供的更健康環境中生活、工作、學習或娛樂。今天向市場推出更完善的WELL v2新版本，勢必會得到市場更強烈的歡迎，促使更多項目加入健康建筑行列。”

IWBI Launches WELL v2?

--New version of the WELL Building Standard? customizable, accessible and more affordable to drive healthier future for all

(NEW YORK -- May 31, 2018) – Launched today worldwide and celebrated with fanfare in New York, Beijing, London and Sydney, the International WELL Building Institute^TM (IWBI^TM) unveiled the WELL v2? pilot, the next version of its pioneering WELL Building Standard^TM, the first rating system to focus exclusively on the impacts of buildings on human health and wellness.

This second iteration includes a full suite of enhancements that advance IWBI’s global commitment to build a healthier future for all. WELL v2 is informed by key lessons learned from the nearly 1,000 projects that are registered or certified in 33 countries across the world. Users can register for WELL v2 starting today.

“Since our launch in 2014, we’ve learned a lot from the thousands of WELL users, practitioners and researchers who have embraced WELL as a tool for making buildings mechanisms to deliver health and wellness benefits for all,” said IWBI Chief Product Officer, Rachel Gutter. “WELL v2 is our effort to consolidate the latest knowledge, leading research, new technology and advanced building practice to extend the benefits of WELL buildings to more people in more places.” 

A truly global rating system, the intent behind WELL v2 is to empower project teams to pursue the interventions that matter most to their project and their community without sacrificing WELL’s comprehensive and evidence-based approach and commitment to performance verification.  Refinements and enhancements to the rating system include:

A new feature set with fewer preconditions and weighted optimizations.

A consolidation of multiple pilots into one WELL, and improvements to the “All Projects In” approach introduced last year.

New pathways to achieve intents, with a laser focus on feasibility for existing buildings and commercial interiors.

An optional early phase review for projects wishing to earn a WELL D&O ^TM designation that affirms and celebrates progress toward WELL Certification.

A new approach to performance verification allowing projects to contract local providers.

A commitment to equity through market- and sector-specific pricing, a focus on localization and the introduction of a dynamic scorecard.

A comprehensive and significant adjustment to pricing, including a new subscription option.

“The IWBI team has worked tirelessly to aggregate the expert contributions of our worldwide community of users, researchers and thought leaders whose hands-on engagement with     WELL v2 is evident throughout,” said IWBI CEO and Chairman, Rick Fedrizzi. “The result is a rating system that’s simpler, clearer, focused on the aspects that have the greatest impact, and designed for improved return on impact across every metric. I’m especially excited about the significant cost efficiencies that have been built in, which will help spur uptake and increase accessibility to WELL for all market sectors.”

Asia has been a market leader for WELL global adoption under WELL v1. Today, there are 236 projects registered to pursue WELL, 18 of which have been WELL Certified. Total registered space in Asia is 58 million square feet with China being a top performing country. 

“WELL has been attracting projects across all sectors to pursue certification in China in the past three years," said Wuzhao Qiu, Head of Product Research and Development at Poly Real Estate Group. "Poly's commitment to building green for the sustainability of the planet and human health is perfectly aligned with WELL's human health-centric philosophy." Poly was one of China's early adopters of WELL with five projects totaling over 500,000 square feet in space pursuing WELL v1 Certification. Qiu said Poly is excited to evolve with WELL and commits more of its projects for WELL Certification under v2.

“WELL has seen tremendous growth momentum in Asia since its debut in 2015,” said Xue Ya, President of IWBI Asia. “We are humbled to hear amazing testimonials on a daily basis from project teams and the many people who get to work, live, learn and entertain in these WELL Certified spaces, and, we are proud to share what is yet to come in WELL v2.” At the WELL v2 launch event in Beijing, Xue Ya and her team noted that they anticipate an even broader adoption of WELL as the market is now more ready to tune into this global movement.

“With these changes, WELL v2 sharpens our ability to drive far-reaching change to buildings and communities in ways that help people thrive,” said Fedrizzi.  “We’re looking forward to the market’s feedback as we move through this pilot phase.”
