Detailed correspondences (13)
| Framework provision | Effinature criterion | Relation | Confidence | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WELL-M02 Access to Nature (precondition) - integration of nature in interior & exterior; nature access & greenery |
EFF-C-086
Indoor user well-being
|
Related match | Medium | The integration of nature into interiors (WELL) and indoor user well-being (Effinature) share the objective of connection to nature for well-being, without identity of means. |
| WELL-M02 Access to Nature (precondition) - integration of nature in interior & exterior; nature access & greenery |
EFF-C-087
Sensory stimulation through landscaping
|
Related match | Medium | Access to nature and the integration of natural elements overlap with sensory stimulation through landscaping. |
| WELL-M09-P1 Enhanced Access to Nature - Part 1: Indoor nature access (≥75% of workstations have a direct view of nature/plants/water or are ≤10 m from an indoor nature element) |
EFF-C-086
Indoor user well-being
|
Related match | Medium | The direct view of nature from workstations (WELL) is a health co-benefit overlapping with Effinature's indoor user well-being. |
| WELL-M09-P1 Enhanced Access to Nature - Part 1: Indoor nature access (≥75% of workstations have a direct view of nature/plants/water or are ≤10 m from an indoor nature element) |
EFF-C-087
Sensory stimulation through landscaping
|
Related match | Low | The proximity of indoor nature elements (green wall, water feature) joins sensory stimulation through landscaping, but WELL targets the view/proximity, Effinature the outdoor landscaping. |
| WELL-M09-P2 Enhanced Access to Nature - Part 2: Outdoor nature access (outdoor space ≥5% of the indoor area, ≥70% covered with plants/nature; or access to a green/blue space ≤650 m, ≥1.25 acre) |
EFF-C-021
Greening and buildings
|
Related match | Low | The requirement for a mostly vegetated outdoor space partially overlaps with the greening of buildings/exterior, but WELL reasons in terms of surface/well-being and Effinature in terms of ecological value. |
| WELL-M09-P2 Enhanced Access to Nature - Part 2: Outdoor nature access (outdoor space ≥5% of the indoor area, ≥70% covered with plants/nature; or access to a green/blue space ≤650 m, ≥1.25 acre) |
EFF-C-089
Social bond and awareness
|
Related match | Low | The encouragement of access to outdoor green spaces for users joins social bonding and awareness around nature spaces. |
| WELL-F88-P1 Biophilia I (qualitative) - Part 1: Nature Incorporation (biophilia plan: environmental elements, light, layout) |
EFF-C-087
Sensory stimulation through landscaping
|
Related match | Low | The WELL biophilia plan (environmental elements, layout) shares Effinature's intention of sensory stimulation through nature, but remains qualitative and health-centred. |
| WELL-F88-P3 Biophilia I (qualitative) - Part 3: Nature Interaction (opportunities for human-nature interaction inside and outside the building) |
EFF-C-089
Social bond and awareness
|
Related match | Low | The opportunities for human-nature interaction (WELL) join Effinature's social bonding and awareness around nature, but WELL targets psychological well-being. |
| WELL-F88-P3 Biophilia I (qualitative) - Part 3: Nature Interaction (opportunities for human-nature interaction inside and outside the building) |
EFF-C-091
Biodiversity awareness
|
Related match | Low | Human-nature interaction encourages the experience and discovery of nature, a partial co-benefit with biodiversity awareness. |
| WELL-F100-P1 Biophilia II (quantitative) - Part 1: Outdoor Biophilia (≥25% of the site in landscaped spaces/accessible roofs, ≥70% plantings including canopy) |
EFF-C-021
Greening and buildings
|
Related match | Medium | The quantified share of the site in planted spaces including canopy (WELL) overlaps with Effinature's greening of buildings and outdoor spaces, a CBS/biodiversity co-benefit, but WELL targets well-being and not ecological value. |
| WELL-F100-P1 Biophilia II (quantitative) - Part 1: Outdoor Biophilia (≥25% of the site in landscaped spaces/accessible roofs, ≥70% plantings including canopy) |
EFF-C-066
Building greening
|
Related match | Low | The accessible, planted roofs/landscaped spaces overlap with Effinature's building greening. |
| WELL-F100-P2 Biophilia II (quantitative) - Part 2: Indoor Biophilia (potted plants ≥1% of the area/floor; green wall ≥2% per floor) |
EFF-C-021
Greening and buildings
|
Related match | Low | Indoor plants and green walls (WELL) partially overlap with Effinature's greening and buildings, but WELL targets occupant well-being and not the ecological function. |
| WELL-F100-P3 Biophilia II (quantitative) - Part 3: Water Feature (≥1 water feature / 9,290 m² beyond 9,290 m²) |
EFF-C-087
Sensory stimulation through landscaping
|
Related match | Low | The water feature for connection to nature weakly joins sensory stimulation through landscaping, but WELL targets the indoor biophilic experience, not biodiversity. |
