Hello LEED Community,
Our project is in a building with a window head height of 12'6". The open office areas have combinations of suspened, angled acoustic "clouds" and decorative wood slats, which all end at ~10'' AFF. In this case can we consider that we have an "effective head height" of 10' and base the 3x the head height distance zone map on that number?
Thank you,

Kristen,
suggest you include a ceiling plan and a couple of representative sections to show that there are sufficient suspended elements that effectively lowered the ceiling height.
Good luck!
