Given that systems furniture is now included in the calculation scope for IEQ8.2, does using industry-standard 42" high panels qualify as a 42" high line of sight? And, if higher panels are used, would one follow the office method of calculation -- i.e. if there is a line of sight (through the ws opening) for 75% of the workstation, its SF applies? Guidance appreciated. Thank you, Susan
