37
Q

ERs should be located in the ___

A

Center

38
Q

255 work areas
55 BAS devices
ER size ___

A

205 sq’

1
Divide the amount of usable floor space by ≈9.3 m2 (100 ft2) to determine
the number of individual work areas that the ER will serve through both
backbone and horizontal cabling.
NOTES: Usable floor space includes the building area used by occupants in
their normal daily work functions. For planning purposes, this
should include hallways but not other common areas of the
building. If the usable floor space is unknown, deduct 20 percent of
the total floor area to estimate the usable floor space.
An area of ≈9.3 m2 (100 ft2) is an industry average used to
calculate work areas. If work areas are smaller, the size of the ER
shall be increased accordingly.

3
Divide the amount of total floor space by ≈23.2 m2 (250 ft2) to determine
the number of BAS devices that the ER will serve through both backbone
and horizontal cabling.
Multiply the number of work areas to be served by ≈0.07 m2 (0.75 ft2) and
the number of BAS devices to be served by ≈0.023 m2 (0.25 ft2) to
determine the ER size.
If there are fewer than 200 work areas, the ER shall be no less than ≈14 m2 (150 ft2). For
special-use buildings (e.g., hospitals, hotels), ER size requirements may vary
