Inquiry

Our project is a high-rise residential building. Several of the typical unit types include interior sleeping rooms that have large sliding wall panels, (not traditional bedroom doors) that function as the doorways to sleeping rooms. When open, these sliding wall panels open the sleeping rooms to the rest of the unit. When an occupant is sleeping, the panels would be closed for privacy. The design of the rooms are such that normal \'awake\' uses of the room would occur with the sliding panels are in the open position giving the room occupant direct views through the rest of the unit to the exterior. Is it acceptable to calculate EQc8.2 Views for each of these unit types with the interior sleeping rooms sliding wall panels in the open position?
