I am working on an renovation of an historic building for the government. The layout is great for the view credit. The windows size is within the 30"-90" range but I can not adjust the location of them because of the historic status.
Because of budget, we have to reuse the existing systems furniture in the open office spaces. My problem is that some of the taller panels cover a portion of the windows - no matter how I lay them out. The occuppant would still have a view. Would I still meet the intent of the credit if I adjusted the angles for the calculated view area?

What is the height of the panels? If greater than 42" you will need to adjust your lines of sight accordingly to the occupants locations.

I have about a bulk of panels at 36" high which I have utilized all of them at the windows. I have a good amount of panels that are 42" but was unsure if they would be allowable in regards to this credit.

42" is the magic height, so it appears that no matter where you put them, the occupants will have full access to the views.
