Features/Light/Feature 61

Right to light

Intent: 

To promote exposure to daylight and views of varying distances by limiting the distance workstations can be from a window or atrium.

61: Right to light
    Post Date: 06 May, 2016
    Status: Not Approved

    Inquiry: Can a daylighting analysis confirming that at least 90% of regularly occupied spaces have sufficient daylight illumination levels (at least 30 footcandles) and that 100% of spaces have access to quality outdoor views be used to meet the feature requirements?

    Ruling: No, a daylighting simulation combined with access to quality views may not be utilized to meet the feature requirements. The intent of Feature 61 is to include proximity to windows, outdoor views, and daylight in indoor spaces.
