The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), which created the WELL Rating System, has created a new rating system for buildings called the WELL Health-Safety Rating. This guidance provides the most timely and relevant strategies for facility managers to deal with COVID-19 and welcoming occupants back to their facilities. The Rating System provides 22 different strategies throughout five different topic areas, including disinfecting, monitoring air and water quality, and more. 

In this excerpt from our recent Health and Wellness Roundtable, Greg Zimmerman, editor, FacilitiesNet.com, talks with Angela Spangler, AEP, WELL AP, WELL Faculty Director, Commercial Team, Education and Government Sector Lead, International WELL Building Institute, about the Rating System and how it’s strategies can be used to re-open facilities and instill confidence in occupants for returning to work.
