Is it possible to combine Options 1 and 2 for different spaces in the same building?
What spaces are considered regularly occupied and must be included in the calculations?
What daylight simulation software can I use for LEED compliance?
My office space will have cubicles with high partitions. Should I include those in my model?

Do I actually need to submit the USGBC Daylight and Quality Views calculator?
Can electrochromic glazing qualify as a glare control device?

You can exclude that area from your calculations.

Hi,
I think I am having the same issue, I am calculating daylighting for a hotel room.
The entrance of the room only hosts distribution and the access door to the bathroom.
I am considering to exclude that area, that (although is in communication with room) is solely used for distribution and cannot be considered as regularly occupied, from calculation of daylighting. Basically, the entrance only houses the distribution and the access door to the bathroom, but is not separated by a wall from the actual room.
Have you got previous experiences with that issue, is the same already mentioned (I cannot read the full post)?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

1. I think that original post is not written fully, so nobody can see the full post.
2. It's reasonable to exclude such area with precise description and layouts clearly showing the "border line" that separates excluded part and shows the left area ind it's sqm/sqf.

One simple way is to define the entrance area as "hallway" or "entrance", which is considered non-regularly occupied. The rest of the room would be regularly occupied, and you can go from there.
