Hi,
I am just curious to know wether LEED accounts for heat island effect that takes place because of wall just like roof ? If not then any logical reason?

Amar, it does not. Walls receive less sunlight and thus have less of an effect on heat islands. USGBC looked at adding walls to consideration in LEED v4, but I don't remember where the current draft stands on that.
