the canopy is sheltering vehicle parking.
is this area considered tobe:
useable area?

Hi Tony,
Only areas covered by a Permanent Roof may be included, so areas covered by a canopy are not included. Areas included under a Permanent Roof must support industrial activities as defined in the standard in order to be included. Surface Parking is specifically excluded from the standard.
Thanks,
David
