If there is a fire stairwell which services only a single tenant who has space on 3 floors
does this fire escape count as his usable space?
Hi John,
The fire escape stairwell is not usable area. The stairwell is a Major Vertical Penetration.
If usable area would exclude this
what definition would include this ?
rentable area ?
gross area?
The definition for Major Vertical Penetrations.
