WATT The Firms: First WELL Performance Rated building in Belgium
Scope
Indoor Environmental Quality
The WELL Performance Rating focuses on optimizing indoor spaces to enhance human health, productivity, and well-being. It emphasizes real-time monitoring and measurable outcomes to improve air and water quality, thermal and acoustic comfort, lighting, and overall occupant experience.
Data-Driven Approach
Unlike certifications that focus primarily on design and energy efficiency, the WELL Performance Rating prioritizes the real-world experience of occupants. It incorporates continuous monitoring and feedback to ensure that environmental factors positively impact occupants’ daily lives.
Project Overview
Innovative Office Space
Revive’s office building in Ghent integrates a conference hall and commercial kitchen, prioritizing comfort, sustainability, and tenant well-being. The project leverages innovation and technology to achieve high standards.
Comprehensive Support by Airscan
Airscan supported Revive in obtaining the WELL Performance Rating through comprehensive services, including air quality monitoring, water quality assessment, and validation of a lighting design aligned with the circadian rhythm.
Challenges and Collaboration:
Achieving the first WELL Performance Rating in Belgium required navigating new standards and rules. Extensive collaboration among stakeholders, including WELL AP, facility managers, and the building owner, was crucial to overcoming these challenges.
