The WELL Building Standard is the leading people-first health-building certification. Its Biophilia feature, under the Mind category, is where plants count.

What WELL requires (v8)

Indoor Biophilia: per floor, potted plants/planted beds ≥1% of floor area; a plant wall ≥2% of floor area (or largest wall). Outdoor Biophilia: ≥25% accessible landscaping, ≥70% planted with tree canopy. Large projects (>9,290 m²) require a water feature. Verified by architect with spot checks.

Practical deployment

Plan coverage against floor area: distribute pots to hit 1% per floor and install a plant wall of required size. Bring greening in at fit-out design stage with your certification consultant.
