    The document defines view factor as the size of the view of the outside that an employee has within a 90-degree field of view from their workstation, ranging from 0 (poor quality) to 5 (high quality). It distinguishes between primary view from the employee's seated position looking at their monitor, and break view when looking away from the monitor. A view factor of 3 or greater qualifies as a good view, as studies have found better primary and break views can each predict 6-7% faster employee performance.

    Views with a view factor of 3 or greater as defined in Windows and Office; A Study of Office

    Worker Performance and the Indoor Environment.

    View Factor (VF) ranging from 0 (poor quality) to 5 (high quality), is the size of view of outside that
    the employee has within a 90-degree field of view from anywhere in his or her workstation. It is
    either the View Factor (VF) of the Primary View (VP) or the View Factor (VF) of the Break View (VB)
    as described below.

     Primary View (VP) from 0 (poor quality) to 5 (high quality), is the view of the outside that the
    employee has within a 90-degree field of view when s/he is seated at his/her desk and
    looking directly at the monitor.
     Break View (VB) from 0 (poor quality) to 5 (high quality), is the maximum view of the outside
    available when the employee is seated anywhere within his/her workstation and looking
    away from the monitor.

    To determine view factor, first find the smaller of the vertical or lateral view angle. Use the
    angle to identify the preliminary view factor (Figure 25). A view falling within the gray zone
    would be rated up a level if it had very high vegetation content and down a level if it had no
    vegetation content.

    A better Break View consistently predicts 6% to 7% faster performance. A better Primary


    View also predicts an additional 6% faster performance. Thus, a workstation with a good
    view has a View Factor of 3.
