FAQs about EQc5 :

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".

CS-v4 EQc5:Quality views

How to document the Quality View Simulation Results from IES VE?

I have simulated the quality view in the IES VE and created a report according to the simulation results. while the reviewer said that I need to provide documentation confirming that at least 75% of the regularly occupied floor area has contributing views that meet at least two of view types; which is shown in the report.

Question: How could I create the documents that satisfy the requirements of LEED documentations from the simulation results of IES VE？

Hi James, I have a similar query? Do you have any feedback from your project?

This worked for us: 
we typically generate a room schedule sheet, which has all the spaces, their area square footages, and classified according to whether or not each is regularly occupied, non-regularly occupied, etc. (You need this for the Ventilation credits anyway.)
It's fairly simple IF every part of a space has access to quality views. Then it is just a matter of adding these all up. If only a portion of a space has access to quality views, you will report just that part. This can get onerous if you have large, complex buildings. I would start with the straightforward spaces, and see how much more you'd need to report in order to achieve the Credit percentage.
