Three SIG Team Members Earn WELL Accredited Professional (WELL AP) Credential
(Atlanta, December 8th, 2016) – Charlie Cichetti, CEO and Co-Founder; Monica Gonzalez, VP of Development & Strategic Planning, and Michael Cichetti, Marketing Manager from Sustainable Investment Group (SIG) have earned the WELL Accredited Professional (WELL APTM) credential through the International WELL Building InstituteTM (IWBITM), placing them among a group of leading professionals who are dedicated to supporting human health and well-being in the built environment. To date, there are currently less than 500 WELL APs in the world.
The WELL AP credential is the new, leading credential signifying advanced knowledge of health and well-being in the built environment and specialization in the WELL Building StandardTM (WELL).
WELL APs have successfully passed the WELL AP exam, an assessment based on the expertise of leading practitioners in the field of design, health and wellness in the built environment. Developed using GBCI’s rigorous test development best practices, the WELL AP exam is designed to test a candidate’s knowledge and proficiency in building wellness and the principles, practices and applications of the WELL Building Standard. The WELL AP Exam was launched last October and was complemented by a comprehensive educational program.
“As green building consultants, we see that the WELL Building Standard will affect everyone in the commercial real estate industry in just a few short years. Wellness real estate is the next big thing.”
