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

View type 1 & 2 with interior permanent obstructions

My project is an office building with workstation along continuous ribbon windows looking out to landscape. I understand that this work space is not qualified for View type 3. However, does it qualify for view type 1 or 2 if the window height is higher than the workstation height? In other words, occupants can have clear view of sky and tree canopies while sitting down at their workstations. Thank you.

It would depend on how above the work plan height the sill is and how high the window head height is. You might have to use the atypcial cone of vision in section demonstrating that views are there.   Also, with high windows, if tree canopies are far away, occupant may not be able to see them and you need to demonstrate this with images and sections.
