NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

Calculation clarification-

Our building has a large atrium on 3 floors. We are trying to achieve credit SSc2, option 1 development density. Can we count the atrium area in the project floor area calculation or the atrium area should be deducted on each floor for total building floor area. As per the definition of Project area in the Addendum, shaft spaces and elevators can be included in the calculations, which are also voids… The project has 3 floors parking areas, as I understood from previous discussions the parking should be excluded from the building floor area. Can we include a section from the basement which has services, mechanical rooms or storage areas in the floor area calculations? If the project is already registered in CAGBC under a certain floor area, I assume it will still be possible to change this area after if needed? Thank you

I would say that yes, you can count the atria space and any basement areas that are not parking.
