Seen some of the comments up there... But I wanted to ask if the blinds that are required as part of the glare control in IEQ 8.1 ... can they be simple manually controlled internal blinds...

An office building that is being certified under LEED C&S will have 80% of its gross floor area without a complete interior fit-out at time of construction work completion.

In the form, I need Provide an output summary from the daylight computer simulations. does it exist a template to do it? if not, does it need which information in the reports?

Dear All, What is exactly the definition of "automated" with regard to the shades when using option 2 for this credit, and would manually operated electric blinds be compliant when VLT x WFR >

Hi all, In relation to my last comment (below), do folks have good/simple strategies for overlaying their daylight results from Insight (AutoDesk product) to get your compliant SF? Thanks, Hannah

I submitted a simulation output for our core and shell building.

Option1-simulation. The result of ecotect shows the qualified regulary occupied area is 84% at 9 am, 83% at 3 pm.

For LEED 2009 (C&S) is it acceptable to use the following surface reflectances - - Walls -80%, Floors-25%, Ceiling - 80%. Is there any guidance on what can be used for these simulations.

We are pursuing the Option 1 - simulation path. The total regularly occupied area (ROA) reported for the simulation is linked to the PIf3 credit.
