I am working in V2009 (post 2014). For IEQ credit 8.2-Views, I determined that LEED will indeed count a maintenance shop as a regularly occupied space; however, we are running into some design issues regarding this credit. I will alter the 42" high standard for views because this is a workshop not an office, and people will be standing not sitting while working. From what I read, that is allowed as long as I illustrate that modification. We have intentionally kept windows to a minimum for safety reasons. We do have a couple of windows, but I was wondering if I write a narrative explaining why we kept the windows to a minimum, would LEED allow us to use the coiling door as a part of the glazing toward this credit? Due to climate, the occupants keep the coiling door open all year round while the shop is operational allowing views to the outside. Does anyone have any experience with this approach? Is this even worth pursuing by writing a narrative and showing an interior perspective with the door open? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
