NC-2009 IEQc8.2: Daylight and Views—Views
Hi
We are working on a community library project with expansive glazing.
There is a community room in the plan that will be used for community events and conferences. Should we include this space as regularly occupied?
Also - As the library stacks are moveable furnishings - are
we required to reference them in any way?

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?

In the last library I submitted on I included the community room. The project is still under review so I'm afraid I don't have any info on it yet. However, know what I know now, I would advise that it NOT be included in the ROS because it is not a place where people from the library are working.
On the movable furnishing, all of our stacks were lower than 42", so I can't use experience to guide us there either. But, there was an addenda issued on 5-9-11 that states: "moveable furniture and partitions are those that can be moved to provide access to the view by the user without the need for tools or assistance from spacial trades and facilities management." So I would go by that.
