Does anybody know how to document Option 4, combination approach for v. 3.0? Using the prescription method, smaller rooms do not meet the requirement due to too much daylight, however it does not take the window shades into account. Is there a way to use the simulation method for those offices, but still use the prescriptive method for open office environments that do meet the prescriptive method?

Hello Tobie,
Yes, you can use the simulation method for one area and the prescriptive method for another. Document both methods as you would if you were doing them individually. It might be helpful to note on the plans "See prescriptive method for this area." Then, just submit some sort of summary table that lists the area that complies (an all or none for your prescriptive method spaces and the actual portion for your simulated areas). Take this divided by the total ROS and if that % is over 75, you have achieved one point, over 90 is two points.
Is that what you were asking?

Yes, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
