FAQs about EQc8 :

Can views be counted through multiple clear workstation partitions?

Is there a specific height restriction for furniture (such as in an open office area) that items should be under in order to allow the space to count towards credit compliance? In LEED 2009 it was 42".

NC-v4 EQc8:Quality views

We are workingon a 3 story makers lab and classroom building at a university. The third floor is being built as core and shell for a future decision on use. The 1st and 2nd floors have about 85% regularly occupied spaces w/views. If I just duplicate the 2nd floor as a hypothetical layout, as is usually done in leaseable space w/in a LEED CS project, I will still be over 75% views, and that is a sort of worst case scenario, with interior meeting rooms and a few unfortunate faculty offices. Would that be an acceptable strategy? View quality is not an issue: trees,pedestrians, etc right outside. Susan

Yes, your strategy would be acceptable. I would also provide a narrative explaining that the proposed layout would be a worst case scenario. Ensure you do not need tenant guidelines or lease agreement in regards to the leasable floor area.
