I am working on credits 8.1 and 8.2 for a school (LEED 2009 Schools). Per the IEQ matrix, our gymnasium is considered a regularly occupied area and should be counted toward 8.1 but can be excluded from 8.2. My question is this - is there anyway to differentiate this on the Daylight and Views Spreadsheet? When I list the gym it is counting the floor area for both credits and is certainly hurting my views percentage. Should I submit 2 spreadsheets, one for daylight, one for views? And if so, how does that work with filling out the online forms because the regularly occupied area (which would be different for 8.1 and 8.2 in my case) is linked on both forms? Any ideas on how to document this?

You can do it multiple ways but the one thing you need to do, which ever way you choose is provide a narrative explaining your method. I just leave it in the spreadsheet and then provide a document with revised calculations showing the exclusion of the gym in EQc8.2. You can do just the opposite by not putting it in then providing a separate calc for EQc8.1.
