Research confirms that cognitive performance is related to quality views. This article aims to analyze the quality of views in classrooms. The methodology covers analysis in terms of LEED, NBR 15215, and the perception of the evaluator. The analysis took place in four classrooms at three points, two internal and one external. The results show that there are differences between the LEED and ABNT responses to the evaluator. For LEED, all the rooms did not meet the “clarity of view” criterion, although they did meet the other criteria. For ABNT, only one room receives the best rating and the others have the criteria partially met, distributed between Levels I, II and III. For the assessor, only room 04 is considered good, due to the double area of transparency compared to the other rooms.
