typically “blinds” as
the LEED v4 this includes a min. and max threshold at two times of day. This analysis does not include an analysis of atria spaces (if

Room Data: and blind is important;
some darker fabric or foil
blinds can preserve views
Blinds may sometime be
part of a fit-out contract; it
is preferable they are
considered part of the
building design and
specified as such
The analysis reports on
exemplary performance
however it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure the
maximum number of
credits is not exceeded
across all LEED categories
Things to consider:
Increasing the amount of
glazing should be assessed
as a trade off with energy
consumption (heat loss
and solar gain)
Evaluate the size and
shape of glazing; glass
below desk height has
very little value; glass at
high level close to light
coloured soffits can
improve uniformity &
contrast
Glass selection, especially
solar glass, can
significantly affect light
transmittance (Tvi); new
solar glasses offer good
transmission & solar
performance
Consider day lighting with
