Hi:
About the Measure 1: "90% or more of regularly occupied spaces have multiple lines of sight, to vision glazing, in different directions at least 90 degrees apart"...
this "at least 90 degrees" should be drawning in top or section?
because its easy in top for our project, but in section is impossible.
Thanks.

The drawing should be done in plan. From the occupants location, draw a line to the center of each one of the views available to the occupant. The angle between the views must be at least 90 degrees. The occupant has to turn their head at least 90 degrees to see the other view.
When it comes to documenting exemplary performance for this credit, and image is priceless. The credit can be deferred until construction so an image(s) can be taken to document the requirements. This method is very useful for the documenting the view factor. You could also use 3D modeling to do the same thing.

Hello Alan,
Head height is the measurement from the floor to the top of the window. If you need a more specific answer, I would say it is from the "finished" floor (the floor elevation that include the carpeting, tile, etc.) to the top of the glazed part of the window.
