WELL Covid-19 Sertifika Yapısı ve Kriterlerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

The increase in global environmental problems, epidemics and natural disasters has caused important changes in human life and social life style. Thousands of people died as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic, which emerged at the end of 2019 and continues to have an impact all over the world. In the epidemic process, the creation of sustainable and healthy lifestyles and spaces has gained importance. If measures are not taken against pandemics and infections, especially indoors, the risk and speed of transmission of the disease increases, threatening human health and safety. In the context of designing buildings in accordance with the pandemic, the authorities have developed the WELL Covid-19 Health Safety Rating to provide healthier and more sustainable interior spaces. Right after its creation, the certificate started to be used effectively in many countries. In addition, WELL Covid-19 Health Safety Rating has been accepted by important organizations such as LEED, which has been providing certificate services for a long time. In this context, in the study, the purpose, method, evaluation criteria and functioning of the WELL Covid-19 Health Safety Rating were obtained as a result of literature research. In addition, the general structure and evaluation criteria of the certificate have been extensively examined on a building that has received WELL Covid-19 Health Safety Rating.
