Hi Every one,
Currently we are working for factory building project which has registered five months before under USGBC Rating system LEED 2009. We would like to get Daylighting credit and it is natural ventilated building.
We would like to know the required minimum lux level & maximum lux level. As per the reference guide, the min lux is 270 lux. Whether it is reduced to 110 lux after that? Please let me as soon as possible. Also let me know how to check with addenda.

The minimum lux level is 107 and the maximum level is 5381. The addenda was posted in April of 2010.
You can see these levels in the online credit language and here in LEEDusers.
Searching the LEED addenda and interpretation database is painful.

Wow. That is a massive difference. I just tested it on a project that simulated 42% compliant area on the old requirement and 82% with the new. At the time I was completely dissapointed that the design appeared not to be good enough and couldn't understand why.
Actually, it turned out to be a moot point, because it was a kindergarten (School) project without "classrooms" in the typical sense and therefore I'm not allowed to apply for the credit.

What is the ID# for the Addendum? I can't find it when I search through the posts from April 2010. Thanks!

Use this link to read it, it was 2011 not 2010. Anymore it easier to go through the specific credit information rather than the LI and addenda database.

I have a related question - I am documenting a project that is still registered under 2.2. This addendum lowering the minimum fc/lux was posted for the 2009 version of the credit. Can I use the minimum 10 fc for our documentation?

I love LEEDuser ! with this hint we get inspite of 33% directly 77% !
Know we try to optimize the Situation - perhaps we get an exemplary Performance Point ;-)
