Note: This pilot credit was closed for new registrations as of August 15, 2011.

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

  1. How does this credit compare to the LEED 2009 Views credit, in terms of cost to comply with credit requirements, and complexity of requirements?
  2. How did the project’s site design change as a result of providing quality views for spaces?
