Daylight & View Daylight 75% of spaces Requirements Option 1 |
Calculation
Glazing factor of 2% in a min. of 75% of all regularly occupied areas. |
|
|
EQ Credit 8.1
Day light & views Daylight 75% of spaces What is Tvis for? |
Tvis is the visible transmittance
|
|
|
EQ Credit 8.1
Usual value for Tvis? |
Your first assumption might be to notice that the "minimum Tvis" values for daylight glazing is 0.7, while the minimums all other glazing is 0.4. To be clear, these are not required minimums! You could potentially have a giant room made of nothing but Kalwall with a Tvis of something like .15 and still get the daylighting point. The "minimums" are really poorly named, as they are more like benchmarks of light transmission performance. The higher visible transmittance you have the better off your daylighting factor becomes.
