From concept to implementation: A review of evaluation methods on view-out

View-out is one of the architectural design parameters that influence the occupants' health and well-being. This article conducts a critical literature review on building standards, rating systems, and scientific studies that provide evaluation methods and guidelines for quality view-out. Based on the literature review, we identify primary variables for the quality of view-out, describe each variable's criteria, and propose recommendations for window design that ensure quality view-out.
