WELL is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings globally, specifically designed to address occupant comfort. Specific lighting requirements for each rating system will be explored, as well as lessons learned from a current project undergoing certification in both building standards.

He oversees a team of approximately 20 people, and his responsibilities include operations and delivery of the LEED building certification program in Canada, as well as involvement in the implementation of other new green building standards in the Canadian market.
