I don't see anywhere in the reference guide...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? I'm pretty sure it was called out in v3 as 42". I don't see any specific number listed in the v4 guide, addenda (there are none for this credit) or on this page above.
We are selecting furnishings now, and want to make sure we don't select our way out of this credit. Looking at workstation partitions, and items such as filing cabinets.
Is aligning the spine of our workstations perpendicular to the windows an easy way to ensure more compliance?

I got a direct response from LEEDCoach. Here it is, for reference if anyone else needs it:
"When evaluating regularly occupied spaces for EQc Quality Views in ID+C v4, permanent interior obstructions and moveable furniture and partitions must be taken into account, however, there is not a specific height restriction for furniture. This allows project teams flexibility when determining how quality views will be provided within the projects."
Enjoy!

Emily, again, great information! I've added an FAQ based on this tip.
