According to the WELL v2™ feature S01: Sound Mapping and Planning, the project must conduct a sound mapping analysis to identify the sources and levels of external and internal noise and develop an acoustical plan to address them1. One of the strategies suggested by the feature is to locate noise sensitive rooms away from external noise sources, such as busy roads, and provide adequate sound insulation for the facade1. This can help minimize acoustic disturbance and improve occupant comfort and well-being.

Feature Z01 requires projects to submit documentation and verification of their WELL performance every three years through the WELL digital platform. This ensures that the project maintains its WELL certification and continues to meet the WELL standards. The WELL AP should develop a schedule with the project owner to collect the right information on an ongoing basis and submit it every three years through the WELL digital platform. The other options are not consistent with the WELL v2 requirements.

Incorporating revolving doors at the entrance of a building can effectively meet the WELL Building Standard's requirements for healthy entryways. Revolving doors act as an air lock, reducing the influx of pollutants and particulate matter from the outside environment into the building's interior. This design feature minimizes the entry of outdoor contaminants and helps in maintaining cleaner indoor air quality. The presence of grilles that measure the width of the entrance and extend 10 ft. (3 m) in the primary direction of travel further supports this by trapping dirt and water at the entrance, but the key mechanism for reducing airborne pollutants is the use of revolving doors, aligning with WELL's emphasis on air quality and health.

Chlorine is a chemical commonly added to public water supplies as a disinfectant. Its primary function is to kill harmful microorganisms to make water safe for drinking and other uses. This process helps prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. Chlorine's effectiveness as a disinfectant comes from its ability to oxidize bacteria and viruses, rendering them harmless. While other chemicals like fluoride are added for different purposes such as dental health, chlorine specifically targets microbial pathogens to ensure water potability​​.
