If a prescriptive analysis was performed during the design and construction of your building, and those records are available, this path may be a good option for your project.
This path also requires the use of complex calculations to demonstrate compliance. Most teams find Option 2: Views a more streamlined and viable documentation path than this one.
The daylight prescriptive path requires your team to track down information on VLT—the windows’ visible light transmittance—from the window manufacturer for inclusion in the calculations to demonstrate compliance. Buildings without this type of record will likely find it difficult or impossible to determine the VLT of the windows. If your project can’t identify that value for the windows, you cannot use this compliance path.
