What are the three types of documentation required for WELL features?

• A. Design Drawings; Operating Policies; Numeric Data
• B. Annotated Documents; Letters of Assurance (LOA); General Documentation
• C. Quick Checklists; Letters of Compliance; Maintenance Logs
• D. Bills of Materials; Blueprints; Permits

Answer: (B)

Documentation for WELL features is organized into three types: annotated documents, letters of assurance, and general documentation. Annotated documents provide the evidence tied to each performance criterion, including diagrams, product data sheets, test results, and commissioning notes that show how the design meets the feature’s requirements. Letters of assurance are formal confirmations from the parties responsible for the project—such as the owner, design team, or facilities manager—verifying compliance, with signatures and dates for accountability. General documentation covers any remaining materials that support compliance, like operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, training records, and monitoring or performance reports.

These three categories together ensure that the documentation is complete, traceable, and usable for ongoing verification throughout design, construction, and operation.
