FAQs about EQc8 :

Can views be counted through multiple clear workstation partitions?

Is there a specific height restriction for furniture (such as in an open office area) that items should be under in order to allow the space to count towards credit compliance? In LEED 2009 it was 42".

CI-v4 EQc8:Quality views

Furniture heights

exactly same as the below mentioned point; for a project, the interior designer wants to know whether they have to go with 1050 mm or 1100 mm of workstation height; this clarification answers; but what was the logic in not mentioning now in v4; can you please clarify? how does it make any difference? Thanks

There is no restriction on what size furniture you can have inside a project. From the reference guide, identify permanent interior obstructions (see Definitions). Movable furniture and partitions as well as movable glare control devices may be included in the calculations, but this is not required. There is no required minimum site line in v4. But you need to consider your occupants line of site to the exterior. Eventhough you do not need to include furniture, you should not have furniture that would block the vision of the occupants. So, using the 42" line is still a good benchmark to determine whether those sitting at desks have views to the exterior.
