WELL Certification for healthier, more productive, and valuable buildings
We accompany Companies, developers, owners, funds, operators, and technical teams in obtaining the WELL Certification, the international standard that assesses how buildings impact the health, well-being, and experience of their occupants.
We turn WELL into a strategic tool for improve comfort, attract talent, strengthen the ESG offering and increase the value of the real estate asset.
BREEAM as the standard that measures how a building cares for people
The WELL Certification, managed by the International WELL Building Institute, evaluate the impact of the built environment on people's physical, mental, and emotional health. Unlike other systems focused primarily on environmental sustainability or energy efficiency, WELL puts the focus on the user: how they breathe, work, rest, move, concentrate, and interact within the building.
WELL is especially relevant in offices, corporate headquarters, educational centres, residential buildings, commercial premises, restaurants, and business interior spaces, where the quality of the environment has a direct impact on well-being, productivity, corporate reputation, and talent retention.
La certificación WELL evalúa el rendimiento del edificio en relación con la salud y el bienestar de los ocupantes.
For a company, Alright it's not just a certification It is a tool to demonstrate that the workspace is designed to care for people. In a context where talent, user experience, and ESG criteria weigh increasingly heavily on decision-making, WELL makes it possible to turn wellbeing into a measurable and communicable asset.
For developers, owners and funds, WELL helps to differentiate buildings and interior spaces in the market. For occupying companies, it reinforces corporate culture, enhances the employee experience, and provides a clear narrative of commitment to health. For technical teams, provides an organised framework for integrating decisions about air, water, lighting, materials, thermal comfort, acoustics, movement, mind and community.

1
Pre-assessment or feasibility study
We analyse the starting point of the project or building, the client's objectives, and the level of certification achievable. During this phase, the most suitable requirements, credits, or strategies are identified, along with their technical, economic, and documentary implications.
2
Design support
We accompany the project team to integrate certification requirements into the technical documentation. This phase allows for the coordination of disciplines, anticipation of key decisions, and avoidance of subsequent corrections that could lead to cost overruns or delays.
3
On-site support or implementation
During the construction, renovation, or implementation of measures phase, we provide support in reviewing evidence, monitoring requirements, coordinating with stakeholders, and document control.
4
Certification
We gather, review, and submit the final documentation to the relevant certifying body. We also accompany the client throughout the review process, responding to comments and closing out until the certificate is obtained.

Frequently Asked Questions about WELL Certification
What is WELL certification?
WELL is a certification focused on the health, well-being, and experience of building users. It is based on medico-scientific research and analyses aspects such as air, water, light, thermal comfort, acoustics, materials, movement, nutrition, and mental well-being.
2. What differentiates WELL from LEED or BREEAM?
LEED and BREEAM focus primarily on the overall environmental performance of the building. WELL focuses on people: health, comfort, well-being, productivity and user experience. Therefore, it can be particularly relevant in offices, hotels, residences, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, or corporate spaces.
3. When does it make sense to certify WELL?
This makes sense when the quality of indoor space and the user experience are an important part of the asset's value. It is especially useful for companies seeking to attract talent, improve staff well-being, differentiate their offices or reinforce their commitment to the health of their occupants.
Is WELL compatible with LEED or BREEAM?
Yes. WELL can be very well complemented by LEED or BREEAM. While these certifications reinforce environmental performance, WELL adds a specific layer of health and wellbeing. Evalore coordinates both strategies to leverage synergies and reduce duplication.
Does WELL necessarily imply expensive works?
Not necessarily. Some measures may require design or installation adjustments, but many depend on material selection, ventilation, lighting, acoustics, operational policies, maintenance, and measurements. Evaluate analyses which measures deliver the most value in relation to their cost.
6. What benefits does WELL bring to an occupying company?
It can improve the quality of the indoor environment, comfort, perception of space, and people's well-being. Furthermore, it can reinforce corporate policies on health, talent, ESG, and corporate responsibility.
7. What benefits does WELL bring to a developer or owner?
WELL can differentiate the asset, enhance its commercial positioning, and make it more attractive to discerning occupiers. In certain markets, health and wellbeing are increasingly relevant factors in the decision to rent, purchase, or invest.
