Demonstrate through computer simulation that the applicable spaces achieve daylight illuminance levels of a minimum of 10 footcandles (fc) (110 Lux) and a maximum of 500 fc (5,400 Lux) in a clear sky condition on September 21 at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.; areas Provide glare control devices to avoid high-contrast situations that could impede visual tasks. However, designs that incorporate view-preserving automated shades for glare control may demonstrate compliance for only the minimum 10 fc (110 lux) illuminance level.
Achieve a direct line of sight to the outdoor environment via vision glazing between 30 inches and 90 inches (between 0.8 meters and 2.3 meters) above the finish floor for building occupants in 90% of all regularly occupied areas. Determine the area with direct line of sight by totaling the regularly occupied floor area 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 the area to perimeter vision glazing.
The line of sight may be drawn through interior glazing. For private offices, the entirefloor area of the office may be counted if 75% or more of the area has a direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing. For multioccupant spaces, the actual floor area with a direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing is counted. The core and shell design must incorporate a feasible tenant layout(s) per the default occupancy counts (or some other justifiable occupancy count) that can be used in the analysis of this credit.
