Unpacking WELL Building Standard: Why Restroom Hygiene Impacts Your Building's Score

In an era where "health" has become the new benchmark for selecting workplaces and residences, the WELL Building Standard has emerged as a crucial certification for Grade A building owners worldwide. Restrooms are no longer just communal spaces; they are a critical indicator that significantly impacts a building's certification score for optimal well-being.

What is WELL v2 Standard?

The WELL Building Standard (specifically v2) is a global assessment framework for buildings focused on human health and well-being. It is divided into 10 core concepts, with Hygienic Corporation products directly contributing to the Water and Materials categories.

Deep Dive: 3 Restroom Factors That Boost WELL Building Scores

1. Reducing Cross-Contamination (Feature W08: Handwashing)

A key principle of the WELL Standard in hygiene is creating an environment that minimizes the spread of pathogens.

Touchless Solutions: WELL Standard awards high scores for the use of automatic faucets and automatic soap dispensers, as they reduce the risk of shared surface contact (cross-contamination), which is a primary source of bacteria and viruses in restrooms. Dosage Control: Hygienic's sensor-based soap dispensers ensure an adequate amount of soap (dosage control) for effective sanitization according to international hygiene standards.

2. Material Health (Feature X01: Material Health)

Materials used in restrooms must be durable and not harbor microorganisms.

Why Chrome-Plated Brass? High-quality chrome surfaces from Hygienic are non-porous, making it difficult for germs and dirt to embed. They are also resistant to harsh disinfectant cleaning agents, meeting modern building standards without causing rust or material corrosion.

3. Proactive Hygiene Management (Feature W04: Enhanced Water Quality)

Waste water and odor management are crucial aspects emphasized by WELL.

Automatic Flush Valve: Precise sensor systems manage flushing immediately after use (after-flush) and include a pre-flush system to maintain bowl cleanliness at all times. This effectively reduces the spread of airborne microorganisms and controls unpleasant odors.

The Business Case

Investing in WELL-standard hygiene systems is not just about accumulating points; it's about generating clear ROI:

Reduced Absenteeism: Good hygiene genuinely reduces the spread of illness in the office, allowing employees to work continuously. Increased Asset Value: WELL-certified buildings often command higher appraisals and rental rates compared to conventional buildings. Sustainability (ESG): Automatic systems can save 20-30% on water, aligning with modern organizations' environmental goals.
