Which versions does this calculator support?

LEED v4.1 BD+C / ID+C and WELL v2. It does not evaluate LEED v5. Use the Certifications comparison for version-specific provisions.

Does plant visibility establish Quality Views?

No. Plant visibility across a floorplate is not qualifying outdoor-view area through vision glazing. Review the applicable BD+C or ID+C provision and its addenda.

Does M02 award quantitative planting points?

No. WELL v2 M02 Nature and Place is a precondition with connection-to-nature and connection-to-place parts. M09 Enhanced Access to Nature is a separate optional optimization.

Are the checklist items formal submission requirements?

They are project-team planning prompts. The official feature or credit and project edition determine formal verification requirements.

Can the calculator approve compliance?

No. Internal relevance heuristics are retained for early planning, but the tool does not collect enough evidence to determine credit or feature achievement.

Sustainability Tool

LEED v4.1 & WELL v2 Planning Calculator

Scope: LEED v4.1 BD+C / ID+C and WELL v2 only. Relevance labels are internal planning heuristics, not compliance ratings or point estimates. For LEED v5, use the version comparison.

This tool helps architects and sustainability consultants estimate how interior plantscaping strategies may support LEED v4.1 and WELL v2 certification pathways. Enter your project parameters to receive a credit pathway assessment, documentation checklist, and exportable summary.

This calculator provides planning guidance only and does not guarantee certification or credit approval. Final determination is subject to review by GBCI (LEED) or IWBI (WELL).
