I am working on a large 12 story office building that has a 12 story toplite open atrium requiring the credit be documented using option 1. A number of the floors have large open office areas with systems furniture. I am having a hard time figuring out if I need to include the system furniture in the simulation or if it can be excluded. Could any one direct me to where it outlines if system furniture needs to be included for IEQc8.1 for LEED CI?

As long as the systems furniture meets the definition of movable partitions, it does not need to be included in your simulations.

For commercial interiors v3-2009. For the daylight simulation,
Do I need to model the entire floor with each of the interior spaces like office cubicles, printing rooms etc.?

Only regularly occupied spaces need to be included. Refer to the Regularly Occupied Space Matrix. For areas that include cubicles, the cubicles would be considered movable partitions, so they would not need to be included in the sims, but the area they inhabit would be be. Printing rooms, such as copy rooms are not considered regularly occupied and would not be included.

Thank you for your reply. For calculations I´m aware i only have to include regularly occupied spaces, but for building my model for the simulation, Do i need to model every regularly space, partitions with walls, or i only need to make de perimeter of my floor?

Your model does not need to include every space.
