Living in Colorado’s first multi-family building that earned a new wellness certification markedly improved residents’ satisfaction, health, well-being, and happiness, according to a three-year case study conducted by Colorado State University researchers.
Lakehouse in the Sloan’s Lake area of Denver earned WELL Building Certification at the Gold level in 2020 and sold all residences by June 2022.
WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring built-environment features that impact human health and well-being through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification’s focus is on a building’s sustainability and environmental impact.
