Reassessing total office occupation densities
The current Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963 (OSRP) requires that an office building's stairways must be able to evacuate a total occupation figure based on a density of 4m2 (43 ft2) per person lettable area. This requirement imposes an unnecessary increase in the core area in new office developments—resulting in loss of lettable area and imposition of core elements (stairways) in otherwise continuous, easy-to-plan office space. It is, therefore, essential to test the accuracy of the 4m2 per person requirement by analysing the way in which space is allocated in a typical office building and how different organisations use office space.
