Accounting for interior offices with glazing

If I understand this correctly, your calculation does not account for the fall-off of light between the exterior and interior walls: simply put there is much less light incident on the interior wall than on the exterior wall. How are you accounting for the distance of the interior wall from the exterior source of light?

Adolfo, I'm assuming this reply comes too late to help - but that method would provide a conservative value. It uses the combined Tvis value for the interior space (obtained by multiplying both exterior and interior Tvis values together) for the entire area - however this value is only applicable to the interior zone (not the perimeter zone). To accurately calculate this scenario, one would need to apply the exterior Tvis value for the perimeter space, and then the combined Tvis value for the interior space only, and somehow account for the fall-off between these areas as Alan rightly pointed out. I am unaware of any "hand-calculations" that can account for this. It is my understanding that a daylighting simulation would be required.

this thread is really about Daylight, not Views, right? Can it be moved on LEED User so people looking on 8.1 will find it?

Jonathan, we can't move the thread. Maybe you can post a link on the IEQc8.1 forum, noting what you think is particularly useful about this thread? Here's the direct link to it:http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/IEQc8.2#comment-903
