Hi - When the user guide says "provide glare-control devices for all transparent glazing" does it really mean all? I am assuming it doesn't mean high volume doors with transparent glazing?
Many thanks

It does not mean doors as you assume but everything else should have some form of glare control.

What is the consensus on glare control aka roller shades for a gymnasium that have atrium windows? It seems the reference guide step by step, step 5 is pretty clear "all transparent glazing in regularly occupied spaces"... require glare control but it also classifies windows in the required document table. This seems to agree with the statement above about doors. Any wiggle room for atrium windows in gymnasiums?
I am concerned they will be damaged due to the nature of gymnasium activities like volley ball and basketballs impacting them. Maybe a email to my LEED coach is in order about if this could be considered a Special Circumstance?
