This pilot credit is based upon the LEED 2009 Daylight and Views—Views credit; with a refined focus on the quality of the view occupants can access. It places a focus on specific outdoor elements and movement as criteria for appropriate views.
Additional Questions

- How did the project’s site design change as a result of providing quality views for spaces?
