FAQs about IEQc8.2 :

For Exemplary Performance, what is a View Factor?

Does furniture need to be included in floor plan when completing views calculations?

If views are accessible from a seated position, yet above 42”, can these contribute to the views calculations?

Why does the LEED Reference Guide call for vision glazing between 30 and 90 inches, but I have to show compliance at 42 inches?

What is considered a regularly occupied space?

What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value less than 0.150?

What can I do if my prescriptive method calculation results in a value greater than 0.180?

Foyer as occupided or unnocupied space

Hello, Anybody knows if a Foyer in a Hotel (mainly a hall to access 3 meting rooms with a "coffe and cookies" table for the meeting room users) would count as occupied space? Anyone knows as well for a Laundry? Thanks for your help

If it's primarily a circulation area, the foyer would not be considered regularly occupied space. As for the laundry room, it would depend on whether it gets sporadic use, like a storage room, or if there are laundry staff who do most of their work in that room and would thus be their regular "workstation." See comments below on the definition of "regularly occupied areas" from May 2011.
