Your project boundary may not unreasonably exclude portions of the building, space or site to give the project an advantage in complying with credit requirements. You must accurately communicate the scope of the certifying project in all promotional and descriptive materials and distinguish it from any non-certifying space. The project area should be defined by a clear boundary so the project is physically distinct from non-certified areas. See the WELL Program Guidebook for more.

To clearly communicate the scope of the airport project, your WELL project’s name must reflect the area certified. See examples below:

• Full airport (including all terminals and administrative buildings) - e.g., Bray Airport
• Airport terminal – e.g., Bray Airport Terminal 1
• Interiors – e.g., Delta Airlines Executive Lounge at Bray Airport
• Administrative buildings – e.g., Bray Airport Office
• Ancillary buildings – e.g., Hotel NY at Bray Airport

Airports can be certified as a whole, including all administrative buildings. Alternatively, terminals or other parts of the airport can be certified individually, even if they are not physically disconnected from other areas (e.g., terminals that are connected through a link corridor), as long as the certified area is clearly communicated with the project name.

External areas such as runways and aprons can be excluded from the project boundary. Air bridges as well as the external part of the baggage handling area can also be excluded from the project boundary. However, staff working in these areas are considered regular occupants as defined by the standard, if their job includes work within the project boundary or if they use staff facilities within the project boundary.
