Daylighting & Views Daylight 90% of Spaces

Measure at desk height (30” above floor)

Achieve a direct line-of-sight to the outdoor environment (vision glazing between 2’6” and 7’6”) for building occupants in 90% of all regularly occupied areas. Determine the area with direct line of sight by totaling the regularly occupied square footage that meets the following criteria: • In plan view, the area is within sight lines drawn from perimeter vision glazing • In section view, a direct sight line can be drawn from a point 42” above the floor to perimeter vision glazing

EQ c8.3. 1 Pt Design

Daylighting & Views Views for 90% of Spaces

Design the space to maximize daylighting and view opportunities. Strategies to consider include lower partition heights, interior shading devices, interior glazing, and automatic photocell-based controls.

Line of sight may be drawn through interior glazing. For private offices, the entire square footage of the office can be counted if 75% or more of the area has direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing. If less than 75% of the area has direct line of sight then only the area with the direct line of sight will be counted towards meeting the credit and not the whole office area. For multi-occupant spaces, the actual square footage with direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing is counted. Calculations - Direct Line of Sight to perimeter vision glazing and Horizontal View at 42” (includes full height & interior glazing, but not movable furniture). Must achieve both to have floor area “count” Regularly occupied spaces = office spaces, conference rooms & cafeterias

1. Template calculation spreadsheet to demonstrate overall access to views from occupied spaces 2. Drawings 3. Narrative describing any special occupancy areas

To provide design teams and projects the opportunity to be awarded points for exceptional performance above the requirements set by the LEED for New Construction Green Building Rating System and/or innovative performance in Green Building categories not specifically addressed by this Rating System.

Substantially exceed a LEED CI performance credit such as energy performance or water efficiency. Apply strategies or measures that demonstrate a comprehensive approach and quantified environment and/or health benefits. Either greatly exceed the requirements of existing LEED credit or provide strategy not address by any existing LEED credit. To qualify for achieving an innovation credit for a category not specifically addressed by LEED: (1) project must demonstrate quantitative performance improvements for environmental benefit, (2) process/specification must be comprehensive, (3) formula must be applicable to other projects.

To support and encourage the design integration required by a LEED for New Construction green building project and to streamline the application and certification process.

Educate the project team members about green building design and construction and application of the LEED Rating System early in life of the project. Consider assigning the LEED AP as a facilitator of an integrated design & construction process.
