CS-2009 IEQc8.2:Daylight and Views—Views

Compliance for the horizontal view at 42”

For a CS Project, the tentative floor layout for the office space has been designed. And following are my queries in respect to the direct line of sight which is a requirement for the IEQ 8.2 Daylight and Views-Views. 1. A private office of 13.54’ X 10.6’ has two windows proposed on the 13.56’ wall. One window is from 0.65’ (7.8”) to 2.62’ (31.44”) from the floor level whereas the other is 1.75’ (21”) to 3.72’ (44.64”) from floor level. 2. There are two Cafeterias with area of 660 Sq.Ft. and 980.8 Sq.Ft. while both the Cafeterias have windows from 3.93’ (47”) to 7.87’ (94”) above the floor finish level. My query is, since most of the floor area is qualifying for the Plan Area of direct line of sight to Perimeter Vision Glazing and also we have the windows (as mentioned above) in between 30” to 90” without any obstruction, will this office and Cafeterias qualify for the horizontal view at 42”?

Only the one window in the office would provide views. Cannot say whether or not the space would be compliant because I don't have the width. The cafeteria has a view at 42" also.
