Hello all, Please can anybody tell how to draw the 11 degree angle line in drawing to calculate the compliant areas for Credit IEQ 8.2.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the total floor plate area for the Non-Inpatient Floors views calculations include the inpatient unit area?

IEQ 8.2 calls for "A minimum of 90% of the inpatient units" to be within 20' of a perimeter that provides an unobstructed 11 degree (or more) view of exterior glazing.

I am confused by this credit. Can non-inpatient areas that fall outside the 15' perimeter be excluded?

I am trying to determine what is considered "useable square footage" of a floor plate. The credits refers to both total floor plate and useable square footage. Any ideas?

Has anyone contemplated an alternate compliance path for calculating views for a healthcare interiors project?

There are several spaces in a healthcare facilty that require a certain amount of privacy are are inelgible for views such as certain exam room. can these spaces be exempt from the calculation?

Before LEEDuser set up these credit-specific Healthcare forums, there was a general Healthcare forum on which this IEQc8.2 question was posted. I am reposting the Q&A here for convenience:
