The view shed or view corridors of a potential site can be critical
to the decision making process. In evaluating a potential site the
appropriate character for the target occupant should be considered.
Scenic vistas that allow for maximum day-lighting within facilities,
provide a connection to the natural world for occupants, reinforce
positive morale and establish a sense of place for the installation
are normally preferable.
Radio view sheds for wireless networks and antenna look angles
for satellite communications can also be important depending on the
mission of potential occupants and should be considered for site
selection. However, if the potential occupant for the development
has specific force protection concerns the view shed may be a
negative influence to site selection.
