Has anyone been successful in achieving this credit using photos as documentation to demonstrate view type compliance? It seems to me this would be much simpler and perhaps a more effective means to communicate the views, specifically for view types 1, 2 and 4.

I have seen photos and interior rendering used along with the other required documentation to achieve this credit. I have found that the easiest way to show a reviewer that you have a view factor of four is to provide a photo. It would require multiple sectional drawings to accurately demonstrate this.

Hi Todd,
I am working on this credit and planning to visit site to take some pics. Is it possible for you or anyone to share examples of pics to get idea what they will be looking for?

I recommend you take at least one photo from a seated position facing the exterior glazing in each of the regularly occupied spaces where you are documenting views compliance. Note some spaces will require more than one photo depending on the size of the room and the view type you are trying to document.
