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

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?
Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?
What is considered a regularly occupied space?
What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value less than 0.150?

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.
