NC-2009 IEQp1: Minimum IAQ Performance
A WELL certification will be pursued and the project was registered to LEED v2009. IEQ Prerequisite 1 Option 1 will be in line with ASHRAE 62.1-2007. However, WELL Certification requires to comply with ASHRAE 62.1-2013. Can the latest version be acceptable for LEED requirement?
Thank you.

Is outdoor air quality testing required in a space using natural ventilation?
What options are available to projects outside the US to meet this prerequisite?
Can LEED 2009 projects elect to follow ASHRAE 62.1-2010 for this prerequisite?
Which units should be included in the calculations for this prerequisite?

In my opinion, you should not try to relate the two certifications. Just do the documentation for each one based on its referenced standard. LEED 2009 only requires 2007, so I'd just stick with what they know.

I agree with Andrew; however, recently a new “crosswalk” document was published to support the simultaneous application of the LEED Rating System credits and WELL Building Standard. It identifies which LEED credits earn which features (and vice versa). This could be useful for other credits of the rating system.
