NC-2009 IEQc8.2: Daylight and Views—Views
I'm working on documenting this credit for an apartment building but have a question about documenting it. Most of the floors are identical in terms of rooms square footage and layout. Do I have to document each room separately, or is it possible to combine similar rooms into one entry if they are identical on multiple floors?
Thanks!

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?
Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?
What is considered a regularly occupied space?
What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value less than 0.150?
What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value greater than 0.180?

Hi Lauren,
It will be easier for the review team if you list each floor, but understandably if you have a lot of the same/typical floor plans then it is acceptable to combine, or rather list "Floors 1 - x (typical)" as a line item in your views calculations with the results.
Just make sure your regularly occupied total square footage for IEQc8.2 matches the square footage listed throughout your project documentation and I would simply include a brief narrative for the reviewer confirming which floors have the exact same layout and square footage just to be clear.
Hope helpful!
