Schools-2009 IEQc8.2: Daylight and Views—Views
I still don't quite understand how those lines are determined on the floor plan? Do i take a line at a 45 degree angle from the center point of each window? Where they intersect I'm assuming is NOT the access to view so that area will be deducted from my room area.
I have seen many examples of the floor plan - but nowhere does it explain HOW to show the direct access.
Thanks,
Kim

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?
Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?
What is considered a regularly occupied space?

What we have done to determine the access to views is to start your line on the outside edge of the window and take it to the opposite inside edge of the window. And then just extend those lines until they hit a wall. So in most cases, your angle is much greater than 45% from the center point.
