FAQs about IEQc8.2 :

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?

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?

I haven't been able to locate anything in writing about *views through doors with glazing *use of interior glazing to achieve views from interior rooms across corridors through perimeter rooms with direct views.

Hi Michelle,In the LEEDuser Checklist above, under "Construction Documents" there is a "hot tip" that says:"Direct-line-of-sight can pass through two interior glazing surfaces before reaching exterior glazing, but not through solid doors, walls, or partitions taller than 42”. "That covers the interior glazing question pretty well, I'd say. If you're also asking about exterior doors with glazing--those are fine, just like windows, unless the glass is frosted for privacy.
