Research informs all we do. Whether we’re translating research into practice through WELL, collaborating with academia and industry to identify emerging evidence, or evaluating the performance of WELL projects through performance testing and feedback data from those in the space—research is the backbone of our organization.
By translating evidence to practice, we bring its benefits and impacts to the lives of people in places where we work, play, heal and connect with one another.
An agenda for global research on health and well-being as it intersects with buildings, communities and organizations, the Global Research Agenda (GRA) identifies current gaps and opportunities, introduces a conceptual model to drive research and defines 12 impact topics for additional research to catalyze change.
Our Research Digests capture the evidence behind each WELL feature. They highlight the foundational public health and building science knowledge that helps identify and prioritize features and improve understanding of how the places we create today can impact our health tomorrow.
A 2022 study in the Journal of Building and Environment finds WELL Certification boosts occupant perceived satisfaction, health, well-being and productivity.
At IWBI we understand the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to evidence, with over 7,000 external citations and counting. The IWBI Research Advisory consists of more than 20 leading academic and industry experts from around the world who advise on research trends that can shape the future of the WELL movement.
Explore our research-based framework designed to help organizations measure and track the impact of their investments in health and well-being over time.
Each year we highlight timely Impact Topics from our Global Research Agenda. We explore these topics through webcasts featuring expert panelists, and supporting materials such as Impact Topic briefs which expand on current evidence, policies and case studies.
Learn about the latest research, tools and case studies that support a global call to action to design buildings and policies that support both human and climate health..
