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?

Schools-2009 IEQc8.2:Daylight and Views—Views

regularly occupied space

The default total regularly occupied gross area seems to be taken from our total gross area--which is not the same, and makes it difficult to meet the 90% when restrooms and utility closets etc are counted toward that total. Any suggestions on how to get around this?

In table PIF3-1, you will need to separate out your usage types. For each type you have gross and then regularly occupied gross. The values in the regularly occupied gross are the values that are connected to 8.1 and 8.2. In a building in which you have many usage types, it takes some time to group spaces together and ensure you have the correct regularly occupied. Coordination between the individual doing the calcs for 8.1 and 8.2 and the person creating the table is crucial. Typically, the person doing the calcs define what is and is not regularly occupied, especially if the sim option is being used. Hope that helps.
