n achieving WELL Certified Gold
earlier this year, the new Boston office
of global design and consulting firm
Arup became the first in New England
to earn WELL certification at any level,
and only the 14th globally to achieve
WELL Certified Gold. Arup also targeted
LEED version 4 ID+C Platinum for its
new office space.
"Whereas the LEED program is all
about environmental sustainability,
WELL is complementary to that, specifically focusing on the health and wellbeing of the people within the space,"
said Mark Walsh-Cooke, a principal with
Arup.

architecture and interior design and general

well-being.
provided its own lighting design, WELL
consulting, commissioning, acoustics and
structural engineering.
Introduced in 2015, the WELL Building
Standard covers 102 features-procedures,
design strategies and performance metrics-
across seven categories related to buildings
and the people who use them. The office's
circadian lighting system was a key feature
in fitting out Arup's new facility.
"The WELL certification system
promotes systems that provide the right
quality and intensity of light over the course
of the day," said Jake Wayne, who leads
Arup's lighting design team in Boston.
"Our office lighting transitions from a
warmer color temperature in the morning
to a cooler color temperature by midday-
stimulating wakefulness and alertness-
then back again later in the
day, qualitatively matching
what the daylight is doing."
The system of
individually addressable
LED fixtures that makes this possible
required a significant amount of
programming and commissioning up front.
However, despite the sophistication behind
the scenes, the user experience is very
straightforward.
"There are all the usual controls-on/off
switches, intensity adjustment and so on.
Users still have complete control, it's just
changing color automatically throughout
the day," Wayne said.
The real design challenge was in
reconciling the WELL lighting quality
requirements with LEED energy use
targets. In the end, Arup held the lighting
power density to approximately 0.67 watts
per square foot while still meeting all the
WELL criteria.
"And now when we recommend this
kind of system to clients,
we can invite them to our
office to experience its
whole functionality," said
Walsh-Cooke.
