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".

NC-v4 EQc8:Quality views

Compliant views for glazing at 8-10 feet above finished floor

Hello - I am working on a warehouse project that only has windows between 8-10 feet above finished floor. Occupants will mostly be standing as they work. Since LEEDv4 no longer specifies a glazing height for credit compliance, am I correct in assuming that as long as the project meets the percent views for regularly occupied floor area and two kinds of views, views at this height contribute to credit compliance? Thanks for your help.

The vision cone for workers standing goes higher than those sitting. So a window at 8' does provide views to occupants. Your assumption is correct.
