Quality views to the outdoors belong to the Indoor Environmental Quality category because they support occupant comfort, well-being, visual connection, and satisfaction inside the building. LEED EQ strategies focus on the conditions experienced by occupants, including indoor air quality, daylight, views, acoustics, thermal comfort, lighting quality, and low-emitting materials. Views can reduce stress, improve connection to the outdoors, and support productivity when regularly occupied spaces are designed appropriately. Energy and Atmosphere addresses energy performance and building systems. Sustainable Sites addresses site design, habitat, rainwater, heat island reduction, and light pollution. Location and Transportation addresses site location, density, transit, parking, and vehicle impacts. Because quality views primarily affect occupant experience indoors, the correct category is Indoor Environmental Quality.
