NC-2009 IEQc8.1:Daylight and Views—Daylight

Prescriptive Method - multiple VLT types

Hi - I'm using the Option 2 - Prescriptive Approach for this credit, and I'm running into a few issues regarding the provided Excel spreadsheet. In a few of our rooms, we have regular height windows and clerestory windows, both of which have different Tvis values. In the spreadsheet they only allow you to have one Tvis value per room. Is there a way to work around this? Should I divide up the room into two different ones? Suggestions welcome.

I am not sure whether it will be acceptable for the reviewer. You may try to use the weighted average. Additionally, you can split the room based on daylit area if they are in different locations.
