2023 Multi-Family citation question

Julie: 2DFP; July 26, 2023

In the Office Standard, for example, the 'Base Building Circulation' method is clearly described as 'Method B' and we list it on both the plan documents and calculation spreadsheet as:

ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2017 Method B Standard

How are we to specify which of the 3 Multi-Family Residential methods is being used, since they are not differentiated by letters as the Office methods are?

ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Gross Method
ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Net Method
ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Net Centerline Method

Hi Julie,

Exactly how you have done it here:

ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Gross Method
ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Net Method
ANSI/BOMA Z65.4-2023 Net Centerline Method

Thanks,
David
