FAQs about EQc8 :

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".

Koolshade as glare-control

We are working on a project that plans to put a Koolshade glare control (microlouver - https://www.smartlouvre.com/).

What would be the impact of this choice on this criterion?

Two solutions have to be evaluated:
1. 2 vertical modules over the entire height of the floor, sliding horizontally (including one fixed module)
2. 3 horizontal modules distributed over the entire height of the floor and sliding vertically.

Is there a better solution than another for this criterion?

Many thanks for your answers.

You will have to make your case to the reviewer - 
1. are they on manual or automatic controls
2. what is the coverage in the various scenarios
3. what are the dimensions of the louvers - are they solid? perforated? 
In any case, I would strongly suggest NOT directing the Reviewer to a website for information. Make it easy for them to do their job.

Thanks for your return. Of course, I won't redirect the reviewer to a website, it was just for illustrating the product for the forum. Concerning this criterion, I just have an uncertainty about the "obstructed view" point.
In the case of a permanent position on half of the window over the whole height (case 1 in my precedent message), can it be considered as an "obstructed view"? The link referred to a picture of the view outwards with the Koolshade.
Or would the 2nd solution then be preferable for this constraint?
