If a WELL report identifies unmet criteria, what must the project submit within 180 days?

• A. A revised color temperature standard
• B. A Curative Action Plan within 180 days
• C. An architectural redesign
• D. A new capital expenditure request

Answer: (B)

When a WELL report shows criteria that aren’t met, the project is required to outline how it will fix those gaps. The essential step is to submit a Curative Action Plan within 180 days. This plan specifies exactly what corrective actions are needed, who is responsible, the timelines, and how evidence will be provided to verify that the criteria are eventually met. It keeps the certification process moving by documenting concrete steps to achieve compliance, rather than waiting or making ad hoc changes.

The other options don’t fit because they aren’t the formal remediation document the WELL process calls for. A revised color temperature standard speaks to lighting design details, not how to rectify unmet criteria. An architectural redesign might be part of corrective work, but it isn’t the mandated plan itself. A new capital expenditure request isn’t the required remediation document either; the Curative Action Plan is the specific instrument used to address non-compliance and guide verification.
