Intent 

​

To provide building occupants a connection to the outdoors through the introduction of daylight and views into the regularly occupied areas of the building.

​

Requirements

​

Achieve a direct line of sight to the outdoor environment via vision glazing between 30 inches and 90 inches above the finish floor for building occupants in 90% of all regularly occupied areas. Determine the area with a 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 the area to perimeter vision glazing.

​

• The line of sight may be drawn through interior glazing. For private offices, the entire square footage of the office may be counted if 75% or more of the area has a direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing. For multi-occupant spaces, the actual square footage with a direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing is counted.

​

 

Potential technologies & Strategies

 

Design the space to maximize day-lighting and view opportunities. Strategies to consider include lower partitions, interior shading devices, interior glazing and automatic photocell-based controls.
