InterNACHI Well study plan

Map the WELL v2 concept and feature structure (10 concepts, feature numbering, precondition vs optimization distinction) into a one-page hierarchy you can redraw from memory

Explain the certification pathway end to end: registration, documentation submission, performance verification, and the difference between WELL Certification and WELL AP credentialing

Define VOC content versus emission rate and identify which WELL features rely on each metric

Build a flashcard set of at least 40 terms covering materials hazards (VOC, SVOC, formaldehyde, halogenated flame retardants, urea-formaldehyde, ozone-reactive compounds) with a one-line definition each

List the WELL materials-related preconditions and optimizations by feature number and note which require third-party testing documentation

Trace how a VOC emission test report is structured (chamber method, loading ratio, reporting units, CDPH Standard Method style criteria) and identify what makes a report acceptable as evidence

Compare product categories (adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, flooring, insulation, furniture, composite wood) and the emission or content limits typically applied to each

Practice reading a synthetic product declaration and decide whether it satisfies a stated WELL threshold, writing the pass/fail reasoning in three sentences

Outline the inspection and testing methods used to verify materials claims: product inventory review, spot checks, and documentation sampling

Draft a hazard-avoidance checklist for a renovation project covering asbestos, lead, PCBs, and mercury

Calculate ventilation rates for a sample space using both a per-person and a per-floor-area approach, and compare the results

Explain the role of filtration (MERV ratings, particle size fractions) and how outdoor air quality data drives ventilation decisions

Identify the pollutant sources WELL targets (combustion byproducts, radon, CO, particulates, ozone) and the corresponding mitigation strategy for each

Describe the performance verification steps for air features: what is measured, with what instrument class, over what duration, and what constitutes a failure

Design a one-week indoor air quality monitoring plan for a 500 m2 office, specifying test locations, parameters, and sampling duration

List the drinking water contaminants WELL addresses and match each to an appropriate treatment technology (carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, UV, distillation, sediment filtration)

Explain turbidity, pH, and disinfectant byproduct concerns and how they interact with treatment selection

Describe how water access and promotion features are verified, including fixture counts and water dispenser locations

Interpret a synthetic water quality test report and flag which results would trigger remediation

Compare point-of-use versus point-of-entry treatment strategies for a multi-story building

Distinguish daylight modeling metrics (spatial daylight autonomy, daylight factor, useful daylight illuminance) and state which project situations call for each

Explain circadian lighting design principles: melanopic response, correlated color temperature, illuminance targets, and timing of exposure

Evaluate electric lighting strategies for glare control and surface luminance ratios

Describe the acoustic metrics used in WELL (background noise level, reverberation time, sound transmission class, impact insulation class) and where each applies

Explain thermal comfort drivers and how individual control, air speed, and radiant asymmetry affect satisfaction

Map the nourishment features to concrete building interventions: food storage, preparation, procurement standards, labeling, and portion guidance

Design a movement-promotion package for a workplace including stair access, signage, activity spaces, and point-of-decision prompts

Describe mental health and community features: quiet rooms, restorative spaces, occupant surveys, emergency preparedness, and accessibility

Draft a five-question occupant survey covering comfort, acoustics, light, and air, and explain how survey results feed into performance verification

Explain how health and wellness literacy promotion is documented and verified

Assemble a documentation package for one synthetic project covering three features across different concepts, following the evidence types WELL expects

Identify the common causes of documentation rejection and write a pre-submission review checklist that catches them

Explain the performance verification visit: what verifiers sample, how spot checks are selected, and how results are reported back

Describe how to handle a failed performance test, including remediation evidence and re-testing expectations

Practice writing a corrective action narrative in under 200 words for a failed air quality measurement

Complete two full-length timed practice exams and record domain-level accuracy for each

Re-study only the two weakest domains using your own notes, then re-test those domains in isolation

Recite the WELL concept structure, certification pathway, and verification sequence from memory without notes

Review every flashcard and worksheet error from weeks 1 through 7 and rewrite the corrected reasoning in your own words

Write a one-page exam-day strategy covering time allocation, question triage, and how to handle threshold-recall questions
