Carlie, please clarify the meaning of "90% or more of regularly occupied spaces have access to unobstructed views located within the distance of 3 times the head height of the vision glazing."
If window fenestration is full heigh, then vision glazing constitutes 60" of vertical view and 3 times equates to 15 feet of unobstructed view. Does that means within 15 feet of the building's curtain wall there should not be another building or structure that will obstruct the view? It might appears so obvious, but we just wanted to be sure.

Steve,
In your example described above this would mean that regularly occupied spaces (areas where workers are seated or standing as they work inside a building) 15 feet from the curtain wall inside the building in plan and section would need to be included in the EP calculation.
