Learn how the WELL Building Standard can prioritize the health and wellness of your building occupants in the COVID-19 era.

8 Hour Training presented by Built Environment PlusMost people spend up to 90 percent of their time in buildings – while the health of the building is highly critical, it is a component that was often overlooked. Now with the advent of COVID-19, our perspective on this component has changed: building designers and operators must re-examine how we navigate offices, restaurants, stores, schools, and residential common areas. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put out new guidelines for the health and safety of the indoor space. Fortunately, the WELL Building Standard® provides the knowledge necessary to make the health and well-being of building residents an even greater priority.The WELL standard is an evidence-base verified rating system focused on operational policies, maintenance protocols, and the health of the occupants. WELL is grounded in the premise that buildings play a leading role in supporting the health and well-being of the residents.This course covers the financial, societal, and environmental benefits of WELL certification. This course will explain the seven concepts of the WELL Building standard, strategies to achieve them, the health impacts they address, and summarize the certification process of the WELL Building Standard. The overlap between the WELL Standard and COVID-19 mitigation strategies for buildings will also be discussed.The WELL AP® Exam Prep Class will have nine sections over the course of one day. Upon completion of the class, students will be eligible to sit for the WELL AP exam.The following core concepts will be covered:• Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures• Air and Water Quality Management• Emergency Preparedness Programs• Health Service Resources• Stakeholder Engagement and Communication----------------------------------------Meet the Instructor:Steven BurkeDirector of Sustainability | Consigli Construction Co., Inc.Steven is the Director of Sustainability at Consigli Construction Co., Inc., a regional construction firm based in Massachusetts.Steven has guided the sustainability process on over twenty million square feet of projects across many different building types and sizes, including but not limited to: k-12 schools, higher education facilities, mid-rise and high-rise residential, commercial interiors, retail interiors, and commercial office buildings. He has been a member of the Urban Land Institute’s Health Leaders Network, is a LEED and WELL Faculty member, a Fitwel Ambassador, and a Certified Passive House Consultant.He has a Master of Science in Sustainability Management from Columbia University, and he blends business and science to specialize in sustainability, resiliency, and health and wellness strategies for the built environment.----------------------------------------This course is now funded through the <a href="http://workforcetrainingfund.org/programs/direct-access-program/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Commonwealth Workforce Training Fund’s Small Business Direct Access Program (SBDAP)</a>.
