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".

Healthcare-v4 EQc8:Quality Views

LEEDv4 HD Quality Views Credit - perimeter area calculation

Page 740 of reference guide, second paragraph "For other areas, confgure the building foor plates such that the foor area within 15 feet (4.5 meters) of the perimeter exceeds the perimeter area requirement (Table 1), and meet the requirements above for the perimeter area (1 point)."

Are the areas requested GSF or NSF?

Is it all regular and nonregular occupied areas?

Sorry, this should be for LEED v4 Healthcare (HC) not HD.

I basically have the same question. Is the floor plate area calculated by floor or across all floors combined (aggregated sum)?

If you try to complete the Quality Views HC section of the Quality Views calculator it asks you to calculate each floor separately.

I agree that the requirement is not clear...
In the USGBC LEED credit library, under the Further explanation tab for this credit (Guide>futher explanation), it says :
"Highlight the perimeter area on the floor plan or furniture plan and list all regularly occupied spaces within the highlighted area and their respective floor areas".
Because of that, I concluded that it is only the regularly occipied spaces.
