Good source of information for design professionals:
Trade Associations
Ex: AWI American wood Institute
Of all programming data ____ and _____ are 2 of the primary factors that determine size and configuration of the interior space.
Required Area & Adjacencies
In addition to primary spaces, there also _____.
Support spaces
What spaces are considered support spaces?
Corridors, circulation space, closets, toilet rooms, no specified mech areas.
Where sf is not defined, space for a particular use can be determined one of 3 ways:
Number of people that must be accommodated
By an object or piece of equipment
Activity that has own clearly specified space needs
Benchmarks
General guidelines for space requirements for person engaged in various types of activity.
The first way to determine space
Multiply are one person needs by number of people in same area
Net space
Space required to accommodate specific functions
Net area does not include this
Primary and secondary circulation space, Closets, electrical and telephone Equipment rooms, Exterior walls, Or the building core.
Net area is referred to as_____
Secondary spaces are referred to as______
Net assignable area
Unassigned areas
Considered public circulation space of a leased building
Primary circulation space
What are some examples of primary circulation space ie: Public circulation space?
Entry, lobby, elevator lobbies, Main corridors, and exits required for building code egress.
What is secondary circulation space?
Corridors and privately leased areas used to connect the net assignable areas to the primary circulation areas of the building.
This is the area available for assignment to a tenant including the actual net area And secondary circulation space.
Usable area
This is the total amount of usable space available But also includes structural columns, the thickness of some partitions, and typically a portion of the exterior walls of the building.
Rentable area
Rentable area also includes:
Proportionate share of the elevator lobby, public corridor restrooms, and mechanical rooms.
When a tenant space takes up the entire floor the rental area includes these areas:
Elevator lobby, public corridors, and restrooms on that floor.
Partitions that separate tenant spaces from each other or a tenant space from a Public space.
Demising wall
the _______ Area of the floor includes all spaces on all floors that are totally enclosed measured from the outside faces of exterior walls
Gross area
What is efficiency factor?
Mathematical ratio between one area and another.
What is the interior layout efficiency?
The ratio of the net area or net assignable area to the usable.
In most office and retail spaces, circulation What percent is devoted to circulation?
20 to 30% of the total useable space.
Would a hospital have a higher or lower efficiency ratio than a factory?
Lower efficiency meaning less usable space compared to net space because of corridors and lots of rooms.
How do you calculate the required usable area of A space.
Divide the net area by the efficiency factor.
Ie: Equipment, files, auxiliary areas
