Taipei 101 gets WELL

Taiwanese super-skyscraper Taipei 101 has become the tallest building to achieve platinum WELL core certification.

Platinum is the highest rating available under the International WELL Building Institute's healthy buildings certification system. The building is also LEED Platinum certified.

Taipei 101 achieved its certification through installing air purification systems, providing access to quality drinking water, increasing natural light exposure, promoting physical activity and promoting thermal comfort.

Completed in 2004, Taipei 101 was the world's tallest building until overtaken by the Burj Khalifa in 2010 and is now the 10th tallest building in the world.
