We’re pleased to announce that the CoreSync Air Quality Monitor can contribute up to 3 points toward WELL certifications.
About WELL
The WELL Building Standard (usually shortened to “WELL”) is a global, evidence-based certification system that measures and guides how buildings and organizations can actively support human health and well-being through design, operations and policies. Initially launched in 2014, it has become one of the primary “health-first” frameworks in the built environment, sitting alongside sustainability standards like LEED but with a focus on people and personal wellbeing.
The standard has since evolved and grown in adoption and influence: by early 2024 it was reported to be applied across billions of square feet and more than a hundred countries.
CoreSync alignment with WELL concepts
WELL v2 is organized into ten concepts, each one a specific area of practice where design, operations or policy can influence health. Within each concept is a series of features that combine technical thresholds (e.g., pollutant limits, sensor metrics) with design guidance and operational policies. The CoreSync Air Quality Monitor (AQM) enables real-time monitoring of indoor air quality, temperature, and humidity, aligning to the WELL concepts of “Air”, “Thermal Comfort” and “Materials”.
Why owners and occupiers invest in WELL
There are a number of benefits that attract building owners and operators to seek WELL certification.
An increasing volume of studies demonstrate the link between indoor parameters such as air quality, light and thermal comfort on occupant health and satisfaction. For commercial premises, there is increasing research linking healthier indoor environments with improved employee performance including improved focus and cognitive performance and reduction of absences.
Healthier spaces, smart buildings
Some design decisions, such as the orientation of the building, the type of HVAC system installed, or the selection of low-emission materials, are largely static: after implementation they change little, if at all. Many other building parameters are dynamic, influenced by changing occupancy, weather, equipment performance, and human behavior. Indoor air quality, temperature, light levels, acoustic comfort, and even water quality require continuous monitoring and active management to ensure that WELL standards are consistently met.
This is where smart building technologies such as CoreSync become essential. Integrated sensor networks, real-time analytics, and automated controls allow facility managers to track these variables continuously, identify deviations, and adjust systems proactively. Smart buildings enable complex streams of environmental data to be translated into manageable trends and actionable insights, ensuring that the building continues to perform to the highest standards.
About CoreSync
CoreSync enables a wide range of environmental conditions to be monitored including temperature, light, and air quality. This real-time insight can be used for reporting and analysis, or to automatically make adjustments to return conditions to their optimal state.
The CoreSync Air Quality Monitor (AQM) captures granular data on:
– Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
– Particulate Matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10)
– Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)
– Temperature
– Humidity
The AQM supports health and wellness strategies and can contribute to the achievement of the following WELL features:
– Air Quality Monitoring and Awareness: Enables continuous tracking of indoor air quality to identify and address potential issues.
– Thermal Comfort: Provides real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity to help maintain a comfortable thermal environment for occupants.
– Material Safety: Fully compliant with RoHS regulations and free from chemicals associated with health risks.
By meeting these criteria, the CoreSync AQM can contribute up to 3 points toward WELL Certification.
