Taking field measurements can be time-consuming and requires plotting daylight levels on representative floor plans. These activities generally make Option 2: Views a more efficient option for project teams unless daylight is provided to spaces through skylights or clerestories and those spaces do not have access to views.
The documentation requirement for this path is to create a representative floor plan highlighting light measurements taken in regularly occupied spaces. Your team may take the measurements in one representative space and extrapolate those results to other, identical spaces.
This path is more doable than other Daylight paths, with the complication that your results can be affected by shading conditions such as adjacent buildings.
