Currently we are working in a LEED project which we are pursuing this pilot credit of Designing with Nature, and we are wondering if green walls indoor could be one of the five strategies?

We understand that these elements could be a visual connection with nature.

Thanks in advantage.

Dear Antonio, Green wall is one of examples for Visual Connection with Nature. Other example of a designed environment with an excellent Visual Connection with Nature is the birch tree and moss garden in the New York Times Building in New York City – a carved out space in the middle of the building by which everyone passes as they enter or leave the building. Based on both examples, the green wall indoor is supposed to be the one of the five strategies (strategy A Nature in the Space - Visual Connection with Nature). Thanks

Is there a written requirement for ratios in square footage/green wall for the credit? ex: 1% of floor square footage must have X square footage of green wall.
