Exterior Walls - Usable Area

Craig Rutkowski: Moody Nolan; October 30, 2020

For the area line - I take it to the face of the glass and do not "jog" around the mullions. Where we have brick piers between sections of windows, can I also not jog around the piers and consider the face of glass the predominate surface.

For Example, 8' of window 2' of brick piers?

Craig,

Please review page 58 of the BOMA 2017 Office Standard and find the illustration that best matches your scenario.

Thanks,
David
