Doesn't sound like it as you have to first prove that the 42" line of sight is unobstructed, and second that vision glass is what you are looking through not translucent glass. This is about view not light transmittance through glass. Sounds like you would have to subtract those spaces from your room calcs. The perpendicular patitions would not hurt you unless you tried for exemplary performance. Hope this helps

thank you so much! I think we can prove this is vision glass, but not sure what to do about the 42" issue. I'll push them to look at alternative systems. Thanks again!

I agree with Andrew that translucent is the issue. You need to make a very compelling case that there is a view through this glass.

I have a question related to the idea of translucent glazing. For our project, the users want to have privacy from visitors looking through to the inside, but can we still achieve this credit if we implement a one-way perforated glazing film such as the Solyx-Oneway product? The users should still be able to see through this film to the outside views. Any other comments in this thread are appreciated, thanks.
