This rule checks that spaces in the model are according to the proposed Housing Plan. The Housing Plan includes usable areas of office, store and special spaces, and total rentable area.
Running this rule with the default values does not give useful results; this rule has to be configured before use to match the current project.
The rule parameters are:
-
Occupant Organization Classification: Select the property which should be used as location in housing plan. The possible properties are:
-
Space Name
-
Space Number
-
Occupant Organization Name
-
Occupant Organization Abbreviation
-
Occupant Organization Code
-
Occupant Sub-Organization Code
-
Occupant Organization ID
-
Space Group Name (name of the space group the space is included in)
-
-
Proposed Housing Plan: The suggested housing plan is a table including required usable areas in each location for office, store and special spaces. The total usable and total rentable area are also included. You can read values to this table parameter from an Excel file.
-
Low, Moderate, and Critical Severity Limits: Limits for issues with various severities. If the difference between calculated area and suggested area is less than the limit for Low Severity issues, the rule does not create an issue. If the difference is between Low Severity and Moderate limits, a low severity issue is created. If the difference is between Moderate and Critical limits, a moderate issue is created. And if the difference is above the Critical issue limit, a critical issue is created.
-
Report Columns: You can select what columns you want to see in the report of this rule.
Analyzing the Results
The rule calculates usable areas for office, store and special spaces in each location. If the value differs more than the limit for Low Severity issues, an issue is created. The rule creates issues also for all locations in the Suggested Housing Plan, which are not in the model (category Missing Locations). And for all locations in the models, which are not in the Suggested Housing Plan (category Extra Locations).
Reported Data
The rule creates a report containing suggested and current areas.
The user can select what columns are shown in the report. Possible columns are:
-
Occupant Organization
-
Current Office USF
-
Current Storage USF
-
Current Special USF
-
Current USF Total
-
Current RSF Total
-
Suggested Office USF
-
Suggested Storage USF
-
Suggested Special USF
-
Suggested USF Total
-
Suggested RSF Total
-
USF Changes (difference between suggested and current USF)
-
RSF Changes (difference between suggested and current RSF)
Usable and rentable areas are calculated according to ANSI/BOMA standard. They are described in Area Calculation
