In the Reference Guide, under Exemplary Performance for this credit, item #4 mentions a "view factor." What is that? I can't find an explanation of it in the Reference Guide or on LEED User.com.

The view factor is determined per the Heschong Mahone Group Study page 47 (see paragraph below #4 in the reference guide). You will also find the reference in the excel spread sheet (under resources) for documenting this credit on LEED online.

Susan, unfortunately, the link provided in the Reference Guide does not work and the reference has not been found on the Internet. Please provide the calculation or definition of view factor.

Thanks, Tristin. The link above does work. It's the link in the Reference Guide that is faulty.
Cheers,
