Basis of Practice5.1 Use this practice to specify a performance requirementto limit the amount of floor area that is permitted to be takenup, or is actually taken up by

37、, building features inside theexterior gross area, as measured in accordance with PracticeE1836/E1836M.5.2 Use this practice to assess how well a design(s) for anoffice facility meets such a performance requirement.5.3 Use this practice to assess how well an existing officefacility has met a perform

38、ance requirement.5.4 Use this practice to compare how well different build-ings or facilities meet a performance requirement. This practiceis applicable despite differences such as location, structure,mechanical systems, age, and building shape.5.5 Use this practice to calculate the amount of varian

39、cefrom a performance target about floor area during design andconstruction phases.6. Procedure for Measurement and Calculation6.1 This practice practice uses imperial units to measurefloor area. Other measurement units can be used to measurefloor area.6.2 For each building element or aspect of desig

40、n, measurethe actual loss of floor area and the effective loss using themethod and measurement sequence in this practice.6.3 Location of the Dominant Portion:6.3.1 Determine the location(s) of the Dominant Portion ofthe inside face of the exterior walls, as defined inANSI/BOMAZ65.11996.6.4 Exterior

41、WallsSize, Shape, and Dimensions:6.4.1 Buildings vary in their capacity to accommodatedifferent sizes and categories of occupants without excessivewaste of floor area, while maintaining other levels of service.6.4.2 The geometry of a buildings typical floors (forexample, shape and dimensions formed

42、by the exterior build-ing walls and dimensions of its grid) will affect how muchspace will be lost because it cannot be subdivided into roomsor workstations.6.4.3 If designs for the geometry and building grid dimen-sions do not take this into account, then the amount of floorarea available for plann

43、ing and fitup may be substantiallyreduced.6.4.4 Irregular exterior walls, non-orthogonal exterior walls,and the dimensions of the space can severely limit and evendictate the nature of the fitup on a floor.6.5 Exterior Wall and Its Relation to the Ceiling Grid:6.5.1 The example shown in shows a cond

44、ition in whichthere is no effective loss due to either the design of thefloorplate, the resulting dimensions formed by the buildingsexterior building walls and dimensions of the ceiling grid.6.5.2 In this example, the ceiling grid line is located 50 mm(2 in.) (for example, one-half the thickness of

45、a partition wall)inside the exterior wall and a result there is no actual oreffective loss for this feature.6.5.3 In contrast to Fig. 1, the location of the ceiling grids inhave slightly different alignments and demonstrates how effec-tive loss has been introduced into the design.6.5.4 If the Condit

46、ion IsThe ceiling grid is at the interiorface of the exterior wall or some distance from the interior faceof the exterior wall, then there is effective loss of floor area forpeople, furniture, and equipment, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.6.5.5 Then the Measurement Rule IsMeasure the effectiveloss from t

47、he finished surface of the interior face of the exteriorwall to the next ceiling grid. (Refer to Figs. 2 and 3.) Thehatched areas in each of these figures indicate the effective loss,which is the amount of extra floor area that will be required toalign the office wall with the first ceiling grid. Su

48、m themeasurements to determine the effective loss for this feature.6.6 Exterior Wall That Deviates from the Orthogonal:6.6.1 If the Condition IsThe exterior wall(s) deviates fromthe orthogonal and reduces the proportion of floor areaavailable for planning and fitup.6.6.2 When an enclosed office is n

49、ext to a non-orthogonal,or irregular, wall the actual floor area that would be required tolayout the office would be larger than the area allowed for inthe programming document. The floor area in excess of theallowed area is effective loss, as indicated by the hatched areain Figs. 4 and 5.6.6.3 The same situation occurs when an open workstationis next to non-orthogonal wall. In Fig. 4, the exterior walldeviates from the orthogonal and creates effective loss asindicated by the hatched area.6.6.4 Then the Measurement Rule IsMeasure
