Actual exam question for WELL AP's WELL-AP exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 7
[All WELL-AP Questions]

The project's property management team is discussing ways to keep indoor volatile organic compound (VOC) levels as low as possible after building occupancy. Which of the following strategies is most effective?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To maintain low levels of indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it is most effective to use air purification devices that include both an activated carbon filter, which adsorbs gases and odors, and a high-efficiency MERV 14 filter, which can capture airborne particles including those that may carry VOCs. This combination is effective in reducing the concentration of VOCs in the indoor environment, promoting better indoor air quality and supporting the health and well-being of the occupants in alignment with the WELL Building Standard's principles.

C is the way to go, folks. Gotta love that activated carbon - it's like nature's very own Pac-Man, gobbling up those pesky VOCs!

Hey, why not just install a giant hamster wheel to power the whole building? That'll keep the VOCs at bay, and provide some much-needed exercise for the occupants!

B is the obvious choice. MERV 16 filters are the Cadillac of air filtration, man. Outdoor air is where it's at!

Ah, the age-old battle against VOCs. I reckon D is the answer here - those UV lamps will zap those pesky compounds right off the cooling coils!

Selma: True, that could also be effective. Maybe a combination of both would work best.
