The purpose of an Alternative Adherence Path (AAP) within the WELL framework is to offer project teams the flexibility to propose alternative methods or solutions that still meet the intended outcomes of a WELL feature. This pathway allows for innovation and customization in how WELL standards are applied, particularly when standard compliance paths may not be feasible or optimal for a specific project context.
AAPs enable teams to tailor their strategies to better suit their unique circumstances, ensuring that the core objectives of WELL features-enhancing health and well-being in buildings-are still achieved.
