Buildings that provide views to the outdoors have proven to enhance productivity, testing performance, and overall occupant comfort and well-being. This credit is easy to achieve if you also plan to design for open space planning, placing occupied spaces near exterior windows with large glazing areas. and design  spaces to use furniture that does not block views from a seated position, such as low or transparent partitions between workstations.  If there is a standard design for every floor or standard spaces that are repeated throughout the design, this credit calculation may be relatively easier as calculations can be duplicated for each floor. Designing for compliance with this credit will likely be complementary with IEQc8.1: Daylight and Views—Daylight. Expect some tradeoffs associated with increasing window area, such as heat loss and gain through larger windows, increased glare, and privacy issues with open space planning and low furniture partitions.

Documentation can be time-consuming

The documentation for this credit does not involve complicated formulas. You are simply figuring out the floor area that has access to views and comparing it with the floor areas that do not have access to views.   However, the larger the project the more time-consuming the documentation will be, especially if spaces are varied.
