Base Building Walls are the permanent structural walls that define the primary configuration of a building, including the exterior envelope, building core, and major vertical penetrations. In BOMA measurement standards, these walls serve as the fixed baseline for determining area boundary lines and calculating the square footage of occupant, amenity, and service areas.
