Building for well-being : exploring health-focused rating systems for design and construction professionals / Traci Rose Rider and Margaret van Bakergem.
"Building for Wellbeing is the first introduction to health-focused building standards for design and construction professionals. More than a summary of the state of the field, this practical resource guides designers, builders, developers, and owners through considerations for incorporating WELL, Fitwel, and other systems from the planning phase to ground-breaking and beyond. Side-by-side comparisons of established and emerging health-focused standards empower building professionals to select the most appropriate certifications for their projects. Drawing on the authors' backgrounds in sustainable design and public health, chapters on the evolution of the green building movement and the relationship between health and the built environment provide vital context for understanding health-focused standards and certifications. A final chapter looks toward the future of health and the built environment"-- Provided by publisher.
