NC-2009 IEQc8.2: Daylight and Views—Views
Hi,
I am working on a project where it is very likely that 90% or more of occupants will have outdoor views. However, a substantial portion of that comes from windows facing an interior courtyard (unroofed, landscaped). Do interior courtyards count as 'outdoor environments'?
Thanks,
Daniel

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?
Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?
What is considered a regularly occupied space?
What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value less than 0.150?
What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value greater than 0.180?

Daniel,
If you don't mind me inquiring, how many stories is/was your building? I have a five story building I am working on and we are trying to achieve IEQc8.2EP #2. I am a bit confused by whether my 5th floor views into teh distance would qualify.
Thanks!

Yes, they would qualify.
