Excluded Area

Portion of a floor within a building that is not suitable for occupancy by people or equipment. (ASTM Derived from Excluded Area) DISCUSSION?While excluded areas may meet the criteria of adequate clear headroom there is owner/landlord documentation which indicates that these areas are to be excluded from floor interior gross area calculations. Examples of excluded areas include but are not limited to unfinished attic areas, attic areas with obstructed access, damp or flooded basements, and confined areas requiring permits for entry. Areas temporarily unusable due to flood, fire damage, construction or renovation activity are not excluded areas ****** A Unified Approach for Measuring Office Space | For Use in Facility and Property Management : Copyright 2007.
