11 Key Features of a WELL-Certified Home for Healthier Living
A WELL-Certified home is more than just a place to live—it’s a space designed to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of its occupants. The WELL Building Standard™ sets the benchmark for creating healthier living environments by focusing on these 11 essential features:
1. Air Quality: Breathe Easy at Home
Clean, well-ventilated air is vital for health and comfort. WELL homes use advanced air filtration systems to reduce indoor pollutants, improve air quality, and promote overall respiratory health.
2. Water Quality: Purity at Every Tap
Safe, clean drinking water is non-negotiable. WELL homes feature advanced water filtration systems and proper water management to ensure you’re drinking the best quality water every day.
3. Nourishment: Fuel for a Healthier You
WELL homes promote healthier eating habits by encouraging access to nutritious foods while reducing the availability of unhealthy options. These features make eating well easier and more enjoyable.
4. Lighting: Bright Ideas for Better Living
Lighting impacts everything from mood to sleep. WELL homes focus on natural light, circadian lighting designs, and systems that enhance alertness during the day and support restful sleep at night.
5. Fitness: Spaces to Move and Thrive
Physical activity is key to overall health. WELL homes integrate features like home gyms, yoga spaces, or outdoor activity areas to encourage movement and exercise as part of daily life.
6. Comfort: A Space That Feels Like Home
From ergonomic furniture to soundproofing and optimal temperature control, WELL homes prioritize comfort to create spaces that minimize distractions and support productivity.
7. Mind: Design for Mental Wellness
A WELL home nurtures mental health with relaxation spaces, access to nature, and elements that reduce stress and promote cognitive well-being.
8. Innovation: Smart and Forward-Thinking Living
WELL homes embrace cutting-edge technologies that enhance your living experience, making life easier, safer, and healthier through innovative solutions.

11. Safety: A Secure Foundation
Safety is paramount. WELL homes include advanced security systems, emergency preparedness measures, and designs that prevent accidents and injuries, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.
