Which BOMA standard to use

Vouli Mamfredis, Arch. LEED® BD+C: Studio MMA Architecture + Design; October 21, 2022

Hello,
We have a client with a complex of two attached buildings and an attached warehouse. Two tenants, one will have warehouse.
Which BOMA standard should we use?

Thank you,

David Fingret: Extreme Measures Inc.; October 24, 2022

Hi Vouli,

The choice of which BOMA Standard to use is usually based on the building's primary use. If the building is 50% or more office, then use the office standard. If it's 50% or more industrial, then use the industrial standard. If it's considered a Flex building, the industrial standard should be used.

Thanks,
David
