Standard | Temporal pattern | Lighting quantity (Note: these are a function of light level and spectrum) | Location | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Timing of exposure | Duration of exposure | Circadian stimulus (CS) (Percent) | Equivalent melanopic Lux (EML) (Melanopic Lux) | Melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance (Melanopic EDI) (Lux) | PhotopicIlluminance (Lux) | ||
WELL v2.0Requirements for 1 point | At least between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Light levels may be lowered after 8 p.m. | Minimum of 4 h. | ≥0.30 (if electric light only) | ≥150 (if electric light only)≥120 from electric lighting (if certain daylighting criteria are met) | ≥ 136 (if electric light only)≥109 from electric lighting (if certain daylighting criteria are met) | N/A | Vertical plane at eye level |
WELL v2.0Requirements for 3 points | At least between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Light levels may be lowered after 8 p.m. | Minimum of 4 h. | N/A | ≥240 (if electric light only)≥180 from electric lighting (if certain daylighting criteria are met) | ≥ 218 (if electric light only)≥163 from electric lighting (if certain daylighting criteria are met) | N/A | Vertical plane at eye level |
UL 24480 | 7 a.m.−4 p.m. | Minimum of 2 h, morningIf not full period | ≥0.30 | Comply with WELL criteria shown above based on desire for 1 point or 3 points | N/A | ≥500 | Vertical plane at eye level |
5–7 p.m. | During full period | ≤ 0.20 | N/A | N/A | |||
After 8 p.m. | During full period | ≤ 0.10 | N/A | N/A |
Note that where alternative compliance paths are offered, either CS, EML, EDI, or Photopic Illuminance can meet the criteria.
