Loading docks for 2017 Method A at office building

Jeanette Meyers: MurphyMeyers; December 15, 2020

Can we include the portion of the loading dock that is either the platform or covered by a roof?

David Fingret: Extreme Measures Inc.; December 16, 2020

Hi Jeanette,

If the loading dock is a Service Area for the building then the area covered by the roof may be included as it would be considered a "Partial Enclosure". However, if the loading dock is a Tenant Area then it would be excluded.

Thanks,
David
