Views and Line of Sight

EBOM-2009 IEQc2.4:Daylight and Views
posted by  Sonrisa Lucero  on 

If only a HORIZONTAL direct line of sight from 42" to the exterior window will ultimately allow an area to qualify as having a view, why have the discussion about glazing from 30" to 90" at all?

Do strippers need to comply with VOC requirements?

We are working on a large school renovation. They need to clean some floors with strippers... do those need to comply with VOC requirements? If so, would it fall under paints and coatings?

I'm working on a project that would like to apply this credit to a new construction building. The new building is part of a college campus, but the LEED boundary only includes the new building.
