Step 7: Determine Allowable Area and Height
The determination of allowable height and area depends on the two major classifications used in the international building code (IBC), namely construction type and occupancy group. Building height under the IBC is regulated in two ways: the maximum number of stories above the grade plane and the maximum height in feet from the grade plane to the median point of the highest roof. The allowable area of a story may be increased with the presence of a sprinkler system installed throughout and the size of the yards surrounding the perimeter of the building. If the allowable area or height is exceeded, there are several options available to the design professional that will permit the building to be designed without reducing the programmed area. However, most of the options may increase the cost of the project to varying degrees.
