I'm working on an early childhood education center that has a tenant that provides occupational and physical therapy to children on a one-hour appointment basis. Would these rooms be classified as regularly occupied spaces or other regularly occupied spaces? OR, are they non-regularly occupied spaces like exam rooms would be for LEED NC?? I have on other LEED projects successfully called clinic exam rooms non-regularly occupied.

Without knowing what type of therapy will be provided, my bet is that they are regularly occupied because it sounds like the therapist will work with the patient for an hour at a time. You'll have to make the case that the type of therapy would be undermined if you introduce views. You may have the ability to argue seating height if the therapist is standing while performing their work. Outside of that, you will need to address patient privacty.
