1. INTENT
To give building occupants a connection to the natural outdoor environment by
providing quality views.
2. REQUIREMENTS
Achieve a direct line of sight to the outdoors via vision glazing 1 for 7 5% of all regularly
occupied floor area. View glazing in the contributing area must provide a clear image
of the exterior, not obstructed by frits, fibers, patterned glazing, or added tints that
distort color balance.
Additionally, 75% of all regularly occupied floor area must have at least two of the
following four kinds of views:
• multiple lines of sight to vision glazing in different directions at least 90 degrees
apart;
• views that include at least two of the following: (1 J flora, fauna, or sky; (2)
movement; and (3) objects at least 25 feet from the exterior of the glazing;
• unobstructed views located within the distance of three times the head height
of the vision glazing; and
• views with a view factor of 3 or greater, as defined in "Windows and Offices; A
Study of Office Worker Performance and the Indoor Environment."
Include in the calculations any permanent interior obstructions2• Movable furniture and
partitions may be excluded.
Views into interior atria may be used to meet up to 30% of the required
area.
Definitions
vision glazing - the glass portion of an exterior window that permits views to the exterior or
interior. Vision glazing must allow a clear image of the exterior and must not be obstructed by
frits, fibers, patterned glazing, or added tints that distort color balance.
2 permanent interior obstruction - a structure that cannot be moved by the user without tools or
assistance from special trades and facilities management. Examples include lab hoods, fixed
partitions, demountable opaque full- or partial-height partitions, some displays, and equipment.

3. APPROACH AND IMPLEMENTATION
#1 Evaluate project site - review the project's surroundings to identify the presence
of elements that meet the view quality requirements of this credit, such as parks,
green roofs and walls, nearby buildings, and pedestrian and vehicle movement.
#2 Design for transparency and quality views - consider how to best allocate interior
space to maximize access to views, design enclosures and select furniture to minimize
visual obstructions to perimeter glazing
o Develop a feasible tenant layout based on default occupancy (or other
justifiable occupancy count) for use in analysis of quality views. Layouts
should reflect the anticipated use of the unfinished spaces.
o Consider using transparent partitions or providing interior glazing at eye level
to ensure views for enclosed spaces.
o In open-plan offices, select low partitions or incorporate glazed panels to
provide views in multiple directions.
o Consider using glare control devices that preserve the view to the exterior.
Movable glare control devices do not need to be included in the calculations.
#3 Identify and list all regularly occupied spaces - Highlight regularly occupied spaces
on the floor plan or furniture plan and list all regularly occupied spaces and
their respective floor areas.
#4 Identify sight lines to exterior views - On floor plans or furniture plans, identify
the locations of perimeter and interior glazing and all permanent interior obstructions.
o Determine whether the perimeter and interior glazing qualifies as vision glazing
o Identify permanent interior obstructions. Movable furniture and partitions as
well as movable glare control devices may be included in the calculations,
but this is not required.
#5 Assess view quality - For each regularly occupied space or area of the floor plan,
select and mark two view types and add the selection to the tracking table. Eligible
view types are as follows:
o Multiple lines of sight to vision glazing in different directions at least 90 degrees
apart
o Views that include at least two of the following: ( 1 J flora, fauna, or sky; (2)
movement; and (3) objects at least 25 feet (7.5 meters) from the exterior of the
glazing
o Unobstructed views located within the distance of three times the head
height of the vision glazing
o Views with a view factor of 3 or greater, as defined in Windows and Offices: A
Study of Office Worker Performance and the Indoor Environment
The view types may be mixed and matched, but documentation will be simpler if the
same view types are used consistently across spaces.

If the entire regularly occupied space or area does not meet the requirements of the
selected view type, include only the regularly occupied floor area that complies. To
assess the regularly occupied space for each view type selected, perform the
following steps:
o View type 1. Multiple lines of sight to vision glazing in different directions at least
90 degrees apart
On the floor plan or furniture plans, draw two lines of sight to the vision
glazing for each location within the space.
• The space or location qualifies if the lines of sight are at least
90 degrees apart and if they are not intercepted by any
permanent interior obstructions. If necessary, draw sight lines on
section or elevation plans to confirm that permanent interior
obstructions do not block the lines of sight.
• It may be easiest to determine the boundary of qualifying areas to
nonqualifying areas (Figure l . Figure 2).

o View type 2. Views that include at least two of the following: (1 l flora, fauna, or
sky; (2) movement; and (3) objects at least 25 feet (7.5 meters) from the
exterior of the glazing
In plan, label the qualifying features located at the vision glazing.
• Two features must be indicated.
• Movement (feature 2) includes such activities as people walking, cars
driving on the street, and boats moving through the water. Movement
of plants and trees from wind does not qualify.
• Account for any changes in exterior views as floor elevation changes.

the space. The space or location qualifies if the line of sight is
not intercepted by any permanent interior obstructions. If necessary,
draw sight lines on section or elevation plans to confirm permanent
interior obstructions do not block the lines of sight.

o View Type 3. Unobstructed views located within the distance of three times
the head height of the vision glazing
In section, determine the head height of the vision glazing for each
regularly occupied space. In plan, identify all regularly occupied floor area that
is within three times the head height of the perimeter.
• The space or location qualifies if there are no permanent interior
obstructions present in the area. No permanent interior obstructions are
allowed, regardless of their height.
• Any regularly occupied floor area not in the identified area does not
qualify.

o View type 4. Views with a view factor of 3 or greater, as defined in Windows

and Offices: A Study of Office Worker Performance and the Indoor
Environment
On the floor plan or furniture plan, identify occupants' typical locations in each
regularly occupied space (e.g., open-office workstation, enclosed office,
conference room seat, counter). Indicate whether the location is the primary
view location or a break view location.
• Assess the view factor for each of these locations, based on either the
primary view or the break view.
• In section or elevation, or through drawings or images, demonstrate
how the view factor was determined.

View factor is a measure of the amount and quality of views within a 90-
degree cone of vision from an individual workstation. View factor is rated from
0 (poor quality) to 5 (high quality).
To achieve this credit, teams may determine the view factor for either primary
view, what an occupant would see while working on the phone or computer,
or break view, what occupants would see while taking a short break by turning
their heads or moving their chairs while remaining seated.
View factor is determined for each workstation by assessing the vertical and
lateral viewing angle for either the primary or the break view (Figure 6). To
determine view factor, first find the smaller of the vertical or lateral view angle.
Use the angle to identify the preliminary view factor (Table 4). If the view
angle falls within the gray zone, assess the content of the view. View angles
in the gray zone are rated up one level when the view has very high
vegetation content, and down one level if the view has no vegetation content.
