Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?

If views are accessible from a seated position, yet above 42”, can these contribute to the views calculations?

In our builing, some regulary occupied spaces are located in B1~B2. To earn this credit 8.2, we decided to make sunken beside B1~B2 wall. So, I wonder that whether or not sunken area is a opening view. Is it possible to include the window area that open to sunken area. Thank you ~ Guys

Sung, the credit language calls for "direct line of sight to the outdoor environment." I would say it may be up to interpretation whether what you are describing can truly be considered the outdoor environment, or if they will just have a view of a concrete retaining wall.
