CS project: How do I know the regularly occupied spaces?

CS-2009 IEQc8.1:Daylight and Views—Daylight
posted by  Susan M. Kaplan  on 

Do I need to work with the tenants and base our calculations on their interior fit-out design to evaluate whether we're meeting 75% of all regularly occupied spaces?

I have a roof of a building which has a light colored concrete surface and should in theory meet the requirements of the credit.

Dear all, Sorry in advance for this lengthy thread. In a current (European) project the certifying building will be supplied with district heat from a large city network.

I'd like to understand better how to input what is needed in Table L-1 for our solar thermal system (our solar PV system was easy to input).

Building Occupants - Daycare Center

EBOM-2009 SSc4:Alternative Commuting Transportation
posted by  Iris Amdur  on 

Our office building includes a daycare center, with approx 100 kids on a daily basis. Would the kids be factored into the calculations using the same method of transportation as their parents?

For Project outside US, Target Finder seems invalid?

posted by  yu-ju Kao  on 

Our project is located in Asia, and the Target Finder is to compare the project to a US national database, I assumed that it does not work for projects outside US.

Can Atriums or shaded open spaces still qualify for the credit?

NC-2009 SSc5.2:Site Development—Maximize Open Space
posted by  Ahmed Mosa  on 

In hot humid climates we tend to shade open spaces or design it as an Atrium, and since it's a "pedestrian oriented accessible space" would this space still qualify for SS C5.2 ?
