IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings
permanent opening providing an adequate view out, where the window/opening is ≥20% of
the total inside wall area
2. All other relevant building areas are within 7m distance of a wall with a window or
permanent opening providing an adequate view out, where the window/opening is ≥20% of
the total inside wall area (refer to compliance notes for a definition of relevant building areas
and adequate view out).
Hea3 Glare Control
An occupant-controlled shading system on all windows, glazed doors and rooflights in all
relevant building areas is required.
Hea4 High Frequency Lighting
All fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps are fitted with high frequency ballasts.
Hea5 Internal and external lighting levels
All internal and external lighting, where relevant, is specified in accordance with the
appropriate maintained illuminance levels (in lux) recommended by CIBSE 65 .
Hea6 Lighting zones & controls
Is not assessed in this scheme.
Daylighting and lighting issues are not obligatory to achieve a BREEAM Multiresidential
rating. The section core of Health and Well-being (HEA) is 11.8% (comprising daylighting,
lighting, thermal comfort and indoor air quality topics). 5 of 14 available points for Health and
Well-Being are achievable through adequate daylighting and lighting as defined above
resulting in a section weighting of 36% and an overall weighting of approximately 4%. An
additional innovation credit can be achieved if exemplary level requirements exceeding the
benchmarks for daylighting mentioned above are met.

Daylight topics are not covered in any LEED for Homes category (which means that
daylighting is regarded of no or subordinated relevance for low-rise residential buildings).
In the new version LEED v3 for New Construction & Major Renovations (LEED-NC 2009)
applicable for high-rise residential buildings (more than 3 storeys) daylight topics (earning
max. 2 points of 110) are assessed by indicators for Daylight and Views as follows:
