Doug Pilgrim from Davies Office Earns WELL Accredited Professional, WELL AP, Credential

Doug Pilgrim, National Business Development Manager for Davies Office has earned the WELL Accredited Professional (WELL APTM) credential through the International WELL Building InstituteTM (IWBITM), placing him among a group of leading professionals who are dedicated to supporting human health and well-being in the built environment.

The WELL AP credential is the new, leading credential signifying advanced knowledge of health and well-being in the built environment and specialization in the WELL Building StandardTM (WELL).

WELL APs have successfully passed the WELL AP exam, an assessment based on the expertise of leading practitioners in the field of design, health and wellness in the built environment. Developed using GBCI’s rigorous test development best practices, the WELL AP exam is designed to test a candidate’s knowledge and proficiency in building wellness and the principles, practices and applications of the WELL Building Standard. The WELL AP Exam was launched last October and was complemented by a comprehensive educational program.

“This is great news and aids in our plans at Davies Office to have the in-house expertise to advise our clients not only on the Financial and Sustainable reasons for utilizing Remanufacturing Office Furniture solutions, but now we are be able to advise them on the positive health benefits and how Remanufactured Furniture can aid in their pursuit of WELL certification.”

The WELL Building Standard is the first building standard to focus exclusively on the health and wellness of the people in buildings. WELL is an evidence and performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring features that impact human health and well-being in the built environment, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
