Daylighting and view

Hi Kevin, I'm going to assume from your other posts that you are referring to CI v2 and the Glazing Factor calculation method. It is my understanding that that you cannot use the Glazing Factor calculation method for the situation that you have. The Glazing Factor method was allowed as an option for compliance for simple calculations in straight-forward scenarios. It is not meant for a borrowed light or double-borrowed light situation such as you have. Even if you could use this method, you wouldn't be able to treat it as if there is no wall because the wall is affecting the amount of daylighting reaching your office. This is something that you'll need to simulate with a computer simulation or go the measurements route.

I've got a similar situation. My "partitions" are 51" high and part of the workstations. The top 15" of the workstation partition is glass, with the bottom at 36" AFF. http://www.tekus.com/products/systems_leverage/default.asp?country=europe Am I not able to go with Option 2: Prescriptive route because my partitions are above 30" even if they have glass above 36"?

Hi Susan, In certain condition, I think you can still use option 2. You can use the example on top lighting that shows partition and apply it to the sidelighting condition.
