Christian, the credit requirements clearly fcall for a view to the "outdoor environment." If the courtyard is open, then it should be okay, if closed, not. That sounds a bit arbitrary, but I think it's how the credit is currently written (looks like it will change in 2012 version). You could try a CIR if you want to argue for a different "view."
