Please click on the Project Scenario B button to review the project scenario and answer the following question.
BAY TOWERS BY BAYLEAF - SEATTLE, UNITED STATES - PROJECT SCENARIO B. Bay Towers by Bayleaf is a 20-floor commercial building overlooking Elliot Bay in Seattle, United States.
The building enjoys abundant natural light through floor to ceiling windows which take in Elliot Bay city views. Although located behind a major highway (four-lanes of traffic), there is a pedestrian bridge which connects their ground floor reception to the riverfront park on the other side of the highway.
The building is owned and operated by Bayleaf Inc., a real-estate organization. The building is leased at a 70% occupancy rate by a range of tenants, including those in finance, technology and healthcare. The total expected occupancy of the building is 1,000 people.
Bay Towers is mechanically ventilated and currently has MERV 11 filters. As the building owner, Bayleaf provides HVAC fit-out for tenant spaces, but tenants complete the interior walls and supply the finishes and furniture themselves. While no food is provided by Bayleaf, some individual tenants do have pantries where they provide their own snacks and beverages for their own employees.
Bayleaf manages the building and operates the ground floor which includes the reception, building management office, meeting rooms, as well as the elevator banks on each floor and the rooftop. Meeting rooms are common amenities that are able to be booked by the tenants. Bayleaf has two employees that work at desks onsite, a receptionist at the front desk and a property manager in the building management office.
PROJECT SCOPE & GOALS
Bayleaf has enrolled Bay Towers for WELL Core Certification to attract and retain high-quality tenants and address growing tenant demand for well-being facilities.
As part of the WELL Core Certification scope, Bayleaf intends to renovate their ground floor and are open to leveraging some of this space to include health and well-being programming.
The scope of renovation will also include upgrades to the base building, such as staircases, end-of-trip facilities and the air filtration system. The rooftop will also be converted into a public green space for tenants to use for recreation. Tables, chairs and barbeque facilities will be added, as well as several gardens, including edible plots and lawn areas.
Bayleaf is hoping their WELL Core Certification will provide some initial feature compliance for tenants wishing to also pursue WELL Certification for their spaces.
Although the current MERV 11 filters in the return air ducts contribute toward compliance with Feature A04:
Construction Pollution Management, the installation of MERV 14 filters could help to achieve which additional feature?
- A. Feature A06: Enhanced Ventilation Design
- B. Feature A12: Air Filtration
- C. Feature A09: Pollution Infiltration Management
- D. Feature A13: Enhanced Supply Air
Answer: B
Explanation:
The installation of MERV 14 filters could help to achieve Feature A12: Air Filtration, which requires projects with mechanically ventilated spaces to implement adequate air filtration and document a maintenance protocol for installed filters. The project scenario indicates that the building is mechanically ventilated and currently has MERV 11 filters. By upgrading to MERV 14 filters, the project could meet the minimum air filtration efficiency for outdoor air supplied to the space, depending on the annual average outdoor PM2.5 level. For example, if the outdoor PM2.5 level is between 24-39 µg/m³, the project would need to use media filters with an average removal efficiency of 75% for particles 0.3-1 µm in size (e.g., MERV 14, F8 or ePM1 75%)1.

NEW QUESTION # 53
During an initial kick-off meeting for a project pursuing WELL Certification, the team set a goal of supporting employee mental health by reducing work-associated stress and burnout while improving mood and sleep quality. Which of the following strategies could also contribute toward points in the Mind concept?
- A. Offer meditation interventions at a 50% discount to both part-time and full-time staff
- B. Implement a policy stating that all staff are entitled to 15-minute breaks throughout the workday
- C. Coordinate after work happy hours for which staff purchase their own tickets
- D. Send regular emails to staff featuring wellness topics like healthy eating and smoking cessation
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to the WELL v2 feature M05: Stress Management, the project must provide opportunities for staff to take breaks from work-related tasks and engage in activities that reduce stress and promote well-being1. Implementing a policy that entitles all staff to 15-minute breaks throughout the workday is an example of such an opportunity, as it can help staff relax, recharge, and cope with work demands2. Option A is incorrect, as coordinating after work happy hours may not reduce stress or improve mood and sleep quality for all staff, especially if they have to purchase their own tickets or consume alcohol. Option B is incorrect, as offering meditation interventions at a 50% discount may not be accessible or affordable for all staff, and may not be aligned with their preferences or needs. Option D is incorrect, as sending regular emails to staff featuring wellness topics may not be effective or engaging, and may add to their workload or information overload.

NEW QUESTION # 57
A project team wants to provide compliant cycling infrastructure for its occupants to fulfill a WELL feature.
Which of the following should the team implement?
- A. The project is located near a bike network that connects riders to five use types
- B. Long-term bike parking (e.g., bike room) can accommodate at least 2.5% peak visitors
- C. Short-term bike parking (e.g., outdoor bike racks) is available for at least 2.5% of peak visitors
- D. The project is located in an area (zip or postal code) with a minimum Bike Score of 40
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the WELL v2 feature V04 Optimization Facilities for Active Occupants, the project must provide no-cost bike parking in the following quantities: Short-term bike parking (e.g., public bike rack) is located within a 100 ft walk distance of a functional building entrance and can accommodate at least 2.5% of peak visitors (minimum of four spaces per building). Long-term bike parking (e.g., bike room) is available within the project boundary and can accommodate at least 5% of regular occupants, excluding occupants under eight years old (minimum of four spaces per building)1. Therefore, option D is the correct answer, as it meets the requirement for short-term bike parking. Option A is incorrect, as the bike network must connect riders to at least 10 use types, not five1. Option B is incorrect, as long-term bike parking must accommodate at least 5% of regular occupants, not peak visitors1. Option C is incorrect, as the project's address must achieve a minimum Bike Score of 50, not 401.

NEW QUESTION # 60
A WELL AP is reviewing the color temperature of lights used for a regularly occupied space in an existing office building. What other design consideration should be taken into account when creating a lighting environment that enhances visual comfort?
- A. Automatic changes in lighting characteristics over a period of five minutes
- B. Luminance ratios only on vertical adjacent zones
- C. CRI 90 in circulation areas
- D. Illuminance uniformity on horizontal task planes
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the WELL v2 feature L02: Visual Lighting Design, the project must provide visual comfort and enhance visual acuity for all users through electric lighting1. One of the design considerations for achieving this is to ensure illuminance uniformity on horizontal task planes, such as desks, tables, or counters, where visual tasks are performed2. Illuminance uniformity is the ratio of the minimum to the average illuminance on a given plane, and it indicates how evenly the light is distributed across the surface3. A high illuminance uniformity can prevent glare, contrast, or shadows that may impair visual comfort and performance4. Option A is incorrect, as CRI 90 in circulation areas is not a requirement for visual comfort, but rather for electric light quality, which is addressed by feature L081. Option C is incorrect, as luminance ratios on vertical adjacent zones are not a requirement for visual comfort, but rather for visual balance, which is addressed by feature L071. Option D is incorrect, as automatic changes in lighting characteristics over a period of five minutes are not a requirement for visual comfort, but rather for circadian lighting design, which is addressed by feature L031.
