Daylight Simulation Model

 

Create a daylight simulation model for the building, or regularly occupied space with glazing.  This model should include the appropriate glazing factors as well as representative ________ settings for interior finishes.

Definition
surface reflectance
Term
For each applicable room/area, include a horizontal grid at ___ above the floor.  The grid will represent the typical workplane height.
Definition
30 inches
Term
The calculation grid should be set at approximately _____ intervals to provide a detailed illumination diagram for each area.
Definition
2 foot
Term
Calculate the daylight illumination for each applicable space using the following daylight criteria;
Definition
sky conditions at 12 noon on the equinox March 21/September 21 for the project's specific geographic location.
Term
If the minimum illumination for a room/area is 25 footcandles or greater then the:
Definition
square footage of the room/area is applicable for this credit.
Term
The portion of the room with a 2% or higher daylight factor or _________ minimum illumination would count towards the percentage of all space occupied for critical visual tasks.
Definition
25 footcandles
Term
Visible Light Transmittance (Tvis)
Definition
is the ratio of toal trasmitted light to total incident light. In other words, it is the amount of visible spectrum light passing through a glazing surface divided by the amount of light striking the glazing surface. 
Term
A higher Tvis value indicates:
Definition
that a greater amount of visible spectrum incident light is passing through the glazing.
Term

EQ 8.2

Daylight + Views Daylight

Definition

Achieve a daylight factor of 2% in 90% of spaces

OR

achieve 25 footcandles as proven by a computer model

AND provide glare control devices

Provide exterior views for 90% of sf area from seated height
Term
Achieve a direct line-of-sight to the outdoor environment (glazing between _________) for building occupants in 90% of all regularly occupied areas.
Definition
2'-6" and 7'-6"
Term
In section view, a direct sight line can be drawn from a point _______, above the floor to perimeter vision glazing.
Definition
42" AFF
Term
For private offices, the entire sf of the office can be counted if ____ or more of the area has direct line of sight to perimter vision glazing.
Definition
75%
Term
If less than ____ 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 requirement not the whole office.
Definition
75%
Term
For multi-occupant spaces, the actual square footage ________ is counted.
Definition
with direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing.
Term
Direct Line of Sight to Perimeter Glazing
Definition
is the approach used to determine the calculated area of regularly occupied areas with direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing.  The area determination includes full height partitions and other fixed construction prior to installation of furniture.
Term
Horizontal View at 42 inches
Definition
is the approach used to confirm that the direct line of sight to perimeter vision glazing remains avaliable from a seated position.  It uses section drawings that include the installed furniture to make the determination
Term
vision glazing
Definition
2'-6" to 7'-6" that permits a view to the outside of the project space
