Through the Looking Glass: Quality Views in LEED v4.1
Elixir Environmental works with building product manufacturers to develop transparency documentation for material ingredient reporting, including Health Product Declarations (HPD). HPDs help contribute points under LEED v4. Product declarations offer your customers an unsurpassed level of transparency, can validate claims of your product's contents, and increase the chances of your building product getting specified.
Building occupants who can visually connect with outdoor environments while performing everyday tasks experience greater satisfaction, attentiveness, and productivity. In healthcare facilities, providing patients with views and access to nature can shorten hospital stays and reduce stress, depression, and the use of pain medication. Designing for quality views involves consideration of building orientation and site design, facade, and interior layout. In this course we describe how to achieve the LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C Credit: Quality Views and how it can help improve building occupants' well-being.
