FAQs about IEQc8.2 :

Why does the LEED Reference Guide call for vision glazing between 30 and 90 inches, but I have to show compliance at 42 inches?

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?

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?

Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?

If views are accessible from a seated position, yet above 42”, can these contribute to the views calculations?

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?

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.
