Methods of Measurement and

Calculating Rentable Area (2010) in

order to assist clients/brokers with

up to date information.

BOMA STANDARDS 2010Standard Methods of measurement and calculating rentable area

•PurposeClear communicationUnambiguous measurement of rentable area

•Method A Revisions(Legacy Method)Floor R/U ratio to building service areasR/U ratiosRentable areas

•Method B Revisions(Single Load Factor Method)

Not permitted in the 1996 versionIdentical load factor for all floor levelsMore stable rentable area of a building

•Enclosure RequirementsNew regional practicesProvides consistent boundaries for measuring interior gross area

BOMA STANDARDS 2010Standard Methods of measurement and calculating rentable area

Method A (Legacy Method)

•Methodology of 2010 is generally similar to that of ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996, with new terminology.

•Application of the floor R/U ratio to building service areas hasbeen discontinued.

•Known as “building common area” in predecessor standard• This results in a slightly different R/U ratio and rentable areas

Rentable Area:•The product of the occupant + allocated area of an occupant or floor level times the R/O ratio of the building. The may also by calculated as the product of the occupant area of an occupant or floor level times the load factor A for the floor level.

R/U Ratio:•A ratio, the numerator of which is the preliminary floor area of a floor, and the denominator of which is the usable area of that floor, that distributes floor service areas to the occupants on a floor on aproportional basis.

Method B (Single Load Factor Method)

•This method was not permitted in the 1996 version•Applied to the occupant area of each floor to determine the rentable area•Identical load factor for all floor levels of a building•May office more stable rentable area of a building over time•Base Building Circulation (BBC) :

•The minimum path on a multi-occupant floor necessary for access to and egress from:

•Occupant areas•Access stairs, escalators and elevators•Rest rooms, janitor’s closets and water closets•Required area of refuge•Life safety equipment (such as fire house cabinets and fire house cabinets and fire extinguishers)•Building service and amenity areas (such as building lobbies, building conference rooms, sky lobbies, and the like)

Method B (continued)

•Occupant Storage:Space that is usable by occupants only for storage or because of its location and/or because the levels of finish, lighting, power and HVAC are unsuitable for use as office space, and is accounted for separately from the other rentable areas of the building.

•Usually located on floors that do not contain occupant area

•Basements•Mechanical levels•Enclosed parking levels

•Deducted from interior gross area in determining preliminary floor area

Enclosure requirements

•New regional practices, particularly for tropical climates

•Enclosure limit:a limit up to which an occupant has the right to build an exterior enclosure at a public pedestrian thoroughfare.

•Intended to provide a consistent boundary for measuring interiorgross area when the exterior enclosure of a building is subject to modification by an occupant.

•Exterior enclosure:the wall, roof or soffit that constitutes the envelope necessaryto enclose a building.

•If occupancy is by the people, an exterior enclosure must provide appropriate ability to control the interior environment.

BOMA International – Lease Guide with Green Lease Language

BOMA International – Lease Guide with Green Lease Language

•Why: To facilitate the transition of the real estate marketplace to a more energy and carbon efficient future both from business and environmental perspective. Building owners and managers have been demanding the tools to develop, operate and manage sustainable properties. Furthermore, tenants and tenant spaces are critical to ongoing management and continual improvement of a building.

• Who: Green Lease Task Force: Steven A. Teitelbaum and Jones Day for BOMA with input from EPA Energy Star Program®, USGBC LEED Rating System™, and the GBI Green Globes System™.

• When: First issued in 2005, with continued revisions.

• What: BOMA’s new lease guide was developed to address commonly cited barriers to implementing green building practices. The guide serves as both a legal-language toolto help building owners and managers maintain a green building through operations and management practices, and also serves as an education tool for working with brokers and tenants to outline what is expected of tenants in a high-performance green building and the responsibilities of all parties involved in the ongoing efforts to keep it green and encourage continuous improvement.

The green lease guide covers:

• prime lease agreements• guaranty of lease• form subleases

In addition, the guide delineates:

• energy efficient practices• recycling and waste management• maintenance and repairs• tenant improvements• contractor rules and regulations

Incentivizing BOTH Landlord and Tenant

•Create dual-incentive language for improvements that aid the building in achieving environmental goals

•Encourage and/or require sub-metering and set thresholds based on kW/sf/yr

•Require Landlord and Tenant to participate in programs that facilitate ride-sharing, car pooling, and the use of public transportation

•Construction projects would need to follow protocol to protect a building’s indoor air quality.

http://shop.boma.org

Split incentive resulting from a typical triple net lease, where landlord pays, and tenant benefits.

Flexible guidelines, rating-system neutral. Avoid definition of “green”, “sustainable”, “high performance”.

Facilitate ongoing management and operations for the features, policies, amenities or management practices of a specific building and its continual improvement.
