STANDARD M ETHODS OF MEASUREMENT
METHOD B - SCENARIO 3' MULTIPLE STORIES. SINGLE OCCUPANT
Determining Rentable Area in an lndustrial Buildinq
Using the Drip Line Methodology
Multiple Stories, Single Occupant
Refer to lllustration 83 and follow these five steps to
determine the rentable area of the building:
1. Deiermine the drip line area of each full floor bounded
bv the drio line. Refer to lllustration 2 and lllustration 83,
2. Determine the floor area of any permanent mezzanines
or unclassified mezzanines bounded by the drip line
at the building perimeter. Refer to lllustration 3 and
lllustration 83.
3. Determine the total drip line area of the building by
adding the fullfloor drip line areas from step #1 to
the mezzanine area from step #2. This will be the
drip line area and rentable area of the building.
4. ldentify all space located on either the full floor or a
mezzanine that is finished and measure its floor area
to the centerline of walls between it and adjacent
unfinished areas.
5. ldentify and measure any areas requiring disclosure,
including
. Restricted headroom area
. Unclassified mezzanines
. Connectors or portions thereof
A tabulation of the results of applying these steps to the
building shown in lllustration 83 is as follows

These areas represent the drip line area and the rentable area
of the boih building and the occupant.
