Locate a WELL beta feature
All beta features can be found in their relevant concept area within the WELL v2 and WELL v2 pilot digital standards. Beta features are designated by the beta symbol (β) in the feature code (e.g., S09 β) in the digital standard or in the feature name on your WELL scorecard (e.g., β Onsite Non-Potable Water Reuse). All new beta features are released with the WELL addenda.
Assess a beta feature's point value
All beta features are assigned a point value. Points earned from a beta feature count towards the required two-point minimum (there is no minimum point requirement for WELL Core projects) and the 12-point maximum per WELL concept. You may also pursue them as innovation points if your project has achieved the maximum points allowed in a given concept.
Submit documentation for a beta feature
Each beta feature is verified differently, so it's necessary to reference the listed verification methods to determine which form of documentation is needed and upload it into the project's scorecard. All beta features pursued must also complete an additional online implementation feedback form.
What is the beta feature implementation feedback form?
Project insights are an essential component of the ongoing improvement of WELL. We truly value your input, which is why we are asking projects to complete a feedback form for every beta feature pursued. This feedback supports IWBI in determining next steps for the standard, which may include:
- Continuing to keep the feature in beta to acquire additional project input
- Modifying the feature requirements to better support project implementation
- Evolving the feature out of beta and integrating it into the larger WELL v2 feature library
- Single asset projects enrolled in a WELL rating, WELL v2 or WELL v2 pilot:
- The feedback form is embedded in the WELL digital platform in the documentation section of each feature
- WELL at scale and WELL v1 projects; Health-Safety Rating projects created before April 18th, 2023:
- Complete and submit this feedback form
- Upload a screenshot of the submission confirmation screen to the relevant feature in your Scorecard
