Applicability – no occupied spaces - KBCN1551
Principle
Where:
- The scope of assessment covers no occupied spaces and,
- There is no valid way to filter credits from that issue,
Credits specifically related to occupied space are not awarded.
Outcome
The tables below show how this principle applies to affected issues.
- Y means all credits are available (unless the comments state otherwise).
Standard filtering rules still apply, so some credits can be filtered out where allowed in the criteria.
- N means all credits in the issue cannot be awarded.
These credits are not filtered out.

Control of glare from sunlight – hotel rooms - KBCN1087
The primary function attributed to hotel rooms is that of a bedroom and as such, lighting and resultant glare are not considered to be problematic for these spaces.
The only exception to this is where designated additional office space is provided. In these circumstances it is the role of the assessor to determine if individual spaces should be determined as ‘relevant building areas’ in accordance with guidance provided.
Glare control criteria apply to building areas where lighting and resultant glare could be problematic for users.
