Hi all,

Our team is interested in the new health and well-being pathway of this credit and was wondering if others have taken it on? If so, would you be willing to share an example of what was submitted for documentation and/or your experience integrating this framework?

Beginning in pre-design and continuing throughout the design phases, use the following steps to inform the design and construction documents:

  • Establish health goals. Set clear and specific goals to promote the health of core groups, including:
    • Building occupants and users
    • Surrounding community
    • Supply chain

Develop a statement of health goals for each population, including a summary of how this health goal relates to the highest priority health need for each population.

  • Prioritize design strategies. Select specific design and/or programming strategies to address the project’s health goals. This could be accomplished by holding a stand-alone “health charrette” or by integrating health considerations into an existing green charrette.
  • Anticipate outcomes. Identify expected impacts on population health behaviors and outcomes associated with the project’s prioritized design strategies

Thank you in advance!
