James, The Building Area type that seems to be the best fit for a bank is "Office". However, if I were evaluating a bank, I would probably opt for the Space-by-Space Method that has space types that are more specific to a bank. In fact, I usually use the Space-by-Space Method during the design phases to dial in each of the spaces, then compare the Space-by-Space Method results to the Building Area Method results to choose which one to document for the final submittal. All the best, Dane
