FAQs about IEQc8.2 :

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?

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?

Why does the LEED Reference Guide call for vision glazing between 30 and 90 inches, but I have to show compliance at 42 inches?

What is considered a regularly occupied space?

What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value less than 0.150?

Dormitory Project- Single Bedrooms like Private Offices

I am working on a dormitory project with mainly single bedrooms. Can I count these rooms like private offices and not have to calculate the actual area in each space? I was planning on finding the actual areas for common rooms and the like, but each bedroom in a dorm with a sprawling footprint is an arduous task.

No, only individual offices can use the 75% rule. You will need to determine the compliant area of each room.

Also, if it multiple floors and they are same, you only need to document one floor in regards to view lines. For the calculator, you could do just the floor, and not list the individual spaces, but you could get called on this if there is any doubt in what the reviewer is looking at. Then you would have to list the individual spaces anyway. I would suggest at least do one floor listing all spaces, then the other floors can be the gross. Provide a narrative explaining your method.
