Action Steps

Consider

Daylighting controls can be set and tailored for each space. The facility manager or another designated person should be in charge of adjusting the settings to meet the needs of occupants.

Cleaning plans need to integrate the maintenance of interior and exterior shading and control dust so that reflectivity is not compromised.

For Option 3, take daylight measurements with a hand-held light meter and record the values on a 10x10 grid plan. Enter square footage for the portions of the regularly occupied areas that meet the daylight requirement in the LEED credit form and upload all required documents to LEED Online.

Incorporate daylight-related items such as lightshelves, daylight sensors, and light-colored paint into specifications.

For Options 1 and 2, enter square footage for the portions of the regularly occupied areas that meet the daylight requirements in the LEED credit form and upload all required documents to LEED Online.

Run prescriptive design calculations to verify that the required percentage of floor area meets the required levels.

Use daylight simulation software to adjust daylight design as needed before it is finalized.

Fill out the LEED credit form with the names of the regularly occupied spaces and their square footage.

Integrate glare control into the design.
