Assessing Health and Wellbeing in BuildingsAlignment between BREEAM and the WELL Building StandardTM
BRE and the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) are collaborating to promote health and wellbeing in the design, construction and operation of buildings and fit-outs, internationally. The two organisations announced their collaboration on 28 November 2016 with the aim to make it more efficient for clients and project teams to pursue both of their respective standards: BREEAM and the WELL Building StandardTM (WELL).
Given that people in the developed world, on average, spend over 90% of their lives in and around buildings, both IWBI and BRE recognise the value and complementary nature of measuring and recognising health and wellbeing elements of building design, construction and operation in the context of a holistic assessment of environmental and social impacts within the built-environment.
Since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has set evidence based standards that go beyond regulatory requirements and standard practice. This includes requirements to optimise internal environments and encourage healthier lifestyles as a part of a broad and holistic evaluation of a building’s social, environmental and economic impacts and benefits. BRE and IWBI recognise the value to the property sector of a wellbeing focused building certification process that sits alongside this holistic rating and are working together to ensure that this can be met efficiently where a client need exists.
To simplify the process for project teams pursuing both assessment methods, BRE and IWBI have worked together to compare performance requirements, harmonise evidence and identify opportunities to streamline the process of achieving dual certification. This work demonstrates the significant synergies between the two methods and the efficiencies that exist between their respective assessment and certification processes. It forms a part of an ongoing collaboration between BRE and IWBI to work together to harmonise their approach to health and wellbeing in the built environment across their standards, research programmes and services generally.
IntroductionThis document provides assistance for those wishing to obtain both a certified BREEAM rating and WELL Certification. It provides guidance on the areas where assessment under one method can result in efficiencies in assessment under the other. It outlines how credits awarded in a certified BREEAM assessment may be used to demonstrate compliance with WELL features post occupation and identifies areas where project teams can demonstrate compliance using the same evidence for both schemes.
The WELL Building Standard was developed in the United States and so addresses a number of issues that are already covered through regulations in the UK and across the EU. For this reason, the document also sets out the areas where WELL requirements are already addressed by UK and/or EU regulations and, where appropriate, where these do not require assessment for buildings undergoing a WELL assessment in these territories.
BRE and IWBI will work together to update this document as and when BREEAM and WELL standards are significantly updated/modified.
Purpose of this document
About BREEAM
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world’s first sustainability rating scheme for the built environment. Through its application and use, BREEAM helps clients to measure and reduce the impacts of their buildings and in doing so, create higher value, lower risk assets that are better for people and the environment.

About the WELL Building StandardTM
The WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) is the first building standard to focus exclusively on the health and wellness of the people in buildings. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring and certifying features of buildings that impact human health and well being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. It marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based medical and scientific research – harnessing buildings and communities as a vehicle to support human well-being.

The document maps requirements between the WELL Building Standard v1 (October 2016) and the following BREEAM scheme versions:
1. BREEAM UK New Construction 2014 (UK NC 2014),
2. BREEAM UK Refurbishment and Fit-out 2014 (UK RFO 2014),
3. BREEAM International New Construction 2016 (INC 2016)1,
4. BREEAM International Refurbishment and Fit-out 2015 (IRFO 2015)1,
5. BREEAM In-Use International 2015 (In-Use 2015)1.
This document is split into four sections:
1. An introductory section outlining the overall approach taken to harmonise the BREEAM and WELL assessment and certification processes.
2. Appendix A sets out BREEAM credits that overlap with WELL. It should be noted that final WELL Certification occurs after the building has been fully occupied and is dependent on a range of in-situ testing and occupant surveys. Compliance with BREEAM requirements does not negate the requirements under WELL for such post occupancy evidence.
3. Appendix B sets out the credit areas within BREEAM New Construction (NC) and Refurbishment and Fit-out (RFO) where WELL evidence can be used to demonstrate compliance with all or part of the BREEAM requirements. It also indicates where there is potential for evidence to be aligned to achieve compliance under both methods.
4. Appendix C sets out the WELL requirements that would be deemed to satisfy BREEAM In-Use requirements and where additional evidence would not be required by BREEAM Assessors and BRE Global to demonstrate compliance with BREEAM criteria. It also indicates where there is potential for evidence to be aligned to achieve compliance under both methods.
Assessors carrying out assessments under the WELL and BREEAM methods listed above will be able to accept certification under the other scheme and/or the related calculation and/or documentary evidence in line with the guidance in this document to confirm:
• Post construction compliance in the case of BREEAM New Construction and Refurbishment and Fit-out schemes
• In-use performance compliance in the case of BREEAM In-Use; and
• Post occupancy performance in the case of WELL.
In addition to setting out mutual equivalencies, the appendices also set out areas where aims and objectives are harmonised but where the level of performance and/or assessment methodology required by BREEAM and WELL are different. In such cases, evidence produced for one scheme may potentially be used in an assessment under the other to avoid the need for duplication of assessment evidence and/or calculations.
Table A defines the levels of overlap:
• For WELL, Appendix A compares the requirements of the BREEAM schemes and outlines a level of overlap for each credit requirement in the associated BREEAM scheme and highlights relevant overlaps with UK/ EU regulations.
• Similarly for BREEAM, Appendices B and C identify and map WELL features that are either fully equivalent or aligned for BREEAM In -Use or where WELL evidence can be used to demonstrate compliance with all or part of the BREEAM NC or RFO requirements.
How to use this document
1 In addition to BRE Global’s BREEAM International schemes, BREEAM also supports a number of National Scheme Operators (NSOs) across the world. The NSOs affiliated to BREEAM and their local schemes are listed on the BREEAM website http://www.breeam.com. These local schemes must be used for international assessments where appropriate, in these instances contact your local NSO for further information. Where a building falls outside of the scope of these local schemes, the pan country BRE Global BREEAM International schemes can be used.
Table A - level of overlap used in the Appendices
Symbol Overlap assignment Definition
EquivalentFormal certification under one scheme can be used as evidence of full compliance with the other. The awarded feature or credit can be used as verification that the requirement has been satisfied.
Aligned
The outcomes and methodologies are aligned but there are material differences between the requirements of the schemes. For instance the required performance levels may be different. In this case it may be possible to carry out a single analysis and use this as evidence in both schemes although this will need to be separately submitted to the relevant assessor.
p Partially equivalentAppendix A only - Formal certification under BREEAM can be used as evidence of partial compliance with WELL features. This indicates that further requirements will need to be met before the feature can be deemed to be fully met.
− Not addressedAppendices A and B – The issue is not covered by BREEAM and so will require full assessment under WELL.
EU/UK directive/regulationAppendix A only – The WELL feature is covered by EU or UK directive/regulation and may not need to be assessed for projects in these countries.
UKR UK regulation Appendix A only – The WELL feature is covered by regulations in the UK.
EUR EU regulation Appendix A only – The WELL feature is covered by directives or regulations across the EU.
BREEAM compliant WELL evidenceAppendix B only – WELL evidence can be used to demonstrate full or partial compliance with the BREEAM requirements but formal review will be required by the Assessor.
IWBI has evaluated this mapping and provided rulings of equivalency for entire features or parts that are satisfied by the BREEAM credits or UK/ EU regulations.
When the level of overlap is considered equivalent, it indicates that a feature or credit has been evaluated and deemed satisfactory to achieve the requirement of the WELL feature indicated. The awarded BREEAM credit can be used as verification that the requirement has been satisfied.
Claiming BREEAM credits in the WELL Building Standard
Appendix A maps the equivalencies between BREEAM credits and WELL for the purpose of carrying out a WELL assessment on a building that has been BREEAM assessed.
Where a project has achieved, or is pursuing a BREEAM certified rating and seeks to apply these efforts to achieve a WELL feature, the project should submit the following during WELL documentation review:
• Short report identifying which BREEAM credits are being used to claim WELL features, in line with the guidance provided in this document; and
• Supporting evidence for each WELL feature or part, in line with the guidance provided in this document.
• If already awarded, proof of BREEAM certification and awarded credits may be submitted in lieu of the ascribed WELL performance verification method in Appendix D of the WELL Building Standard.
• If not yet awarded, use the ascribed WELL performance verification method in Appendix D of the WELL Building Standard. Project teams may reference applicable BREEAM credit requirements in letters of assurance and annotated documents rather than the language in the WELL letters of assurance drawn from the WELL Building Standard.
• Given the stage at which full WELL Certification is carried out, it is most likely that BREEAM compliance through the NC or RFO schemes will be used as evidence in a WELL assessment.
Use of BREEAM certified evidence within WELL assessments
WELL Certification occurs when the building has been occupied for a period of time and post occupancy testing has been carried out to demonstrate performance in operation.
a. BREEAM New Construction/Refurbishment and Fit out schemes:
Whilst there is a defined WELL documentation review process at the design stage this does not result in a formal certification output and as such it is not possible to use WELL Certification as a means of demonstrating compliance at the Design or Post Construction certification stages for BREEAM assessments. Appendix B maps WELL features against the BREEAM credit requirements and indicates where evidence prepared for WELL may be used to justify full or partial compliance with BREEAM requirements for New Construction and Refurbishment and Fit out schemes.
b. BREEAM In-Use:
BREEAM In-Use certification occurs during occupation and as such it is possible to use formal WELL Certification against specific WELL features to demonstrate compliance with BREEAM In-Use requirements. Appendix C maps WELL features against BREEAM In-Use requirements and indicates where WELL Certification can be used to demonstrate compliance with the BREEAM assessment requirements without further or additional assessment. It also indicates where outcomes are broadly aligned.
Claiming WELL Certification as a means of demonstrating compliance with BREEAM criteria
For New Construction and Refurbishment and Fit-out assessments, evidence should be submitted to the licensed BREEAM assessor in the normal way and, in turn, they will reference and submit as part of their assessment report to BRE Global when they request certification. The BREEAM assessor should identify in their report, against the relevant assessment issues, where evidence provided relates to certification under both BREEAM and WELL.
For BREEAM In-Use assessment, entries in the assessment tool should make specific reference to the relevant WELL assessment/certification and evidence documentation. It is important that this referencing fully identifies those BREEAM credits that are being justified through the provision of WELL Certification in line with the guidance provided in this document. Proof of WELL Certification will be required as supporting evidence by the Assessor and BRE Global in lieu of the ascribed evidence outlined in the BREEAM In-Use International Technical Manual for each instance where compliance with a WELL feature is claimed as evidence of compliance with BREEAM In-Use.
