A common misconception is that a design needs to have more glazing for effective daylighting. Effective daylighting can also be achieved with smaller apertures and glazing designed for specific indirect light, located high in a space to bounce light on to a ceiling bringing light deeper into a space.

Choose a LEED compliance path to verify that the daylighting meets a minimum glazing factor of 2% for at least 75% of all regularly occupied spaces or a minimum of 25 footcandles for at least 75%of regularly occupied spaces. If 95% of regularly occupied s

If 95% of regularly occupied spaces meet the credit requirements, a project can earn an point via IDc1 for Exemplary Performance.

Appendix A of the Recertification Guidance shows how projects certified under LEED-EB v2.0 can make the transition to LEED 2009, and how compliance with SSc1 can be achieved. The matrix shows the credits that are likely to require significant updates to comply with v2009 requirements and thresholds, versus those that will need minor adjustments. See the guidance for more information on how EB v2.0 projects can comply with SSc1.
