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".

Electrochromic Glazing for LEED v4 EQ 8.1 Quality Views Credit

LEED v4 states that “View glazing in the contributing area must provide a clear image of the exterior, not obstructed by frits, fibers, patterned glazing, or added tints that distort color balance.”

 

Clearly, electrochromic glazing / tinted glazing does not obstruct views. Has anyone applied dynamic glazing in their project to achieve LEED v4 EQ8,1 credit?

I'm #3 with same question. Since Interpretation 100002149 allows "automatically controlled dynamic glazing" to exempt projects from Daylighting Option 1 ASE requirement AND since spaces may not experience glare for much of a day, then electrochromic tinting would only be turned on for small portions of a day.  Therefore, could dynamic/electrochromic glazing be exempted for Views also?

I am also curious if a project / certain rooms are disqualified if there are frits.
