Which Boma standard is recomended

Zaynah: Aedifix+; June 10, 2024

Hello,

I have a multi-tenant building with 4 tenants (primarily industrial use). One of them has second-floor offices, and the other three have mezzanine offices as well. In that case, should I use the BOMA Industrial Standards or the Multi-Use BOMA Standards?

Thanks

Hi Zanah,

The standards recommend using a single-use standard if the building is 50% or more of a particular use. We would apply the industrial standard.

Thanks,
David
