Dear all, Could you please clarify what is the minimum daylight illuminance level to be achieved using option 1 - computer simulation? The credit language sais 10fc. In the "Checklist" , last point under "schematic desig" it sais 25 fc. In the LEED referece Guide in "Calculations" section under "Option 1" it sais again 25fc as a minimum illumiannace level. Am I reading it wrong? Many thanks in advance.

The addenda posted in 2010 changed the minimum illuminance value to 10fc. So if you read the online version of the credit language you'll see 10fc, but an older version of the paper Reference Guide will not have the addenda in it.
