How should a Data Center building facility be included in the Portfolio Manager? The building hosts the data center and the supporting offices. In particular, 60% of its GFA is allocated to pure DC mechanical equipment whereas the rest 30% is for supporting offices and 10% for circulation. Should the office use be included independently or should it be disregarded and the data center GFA should be entered as “Data Center use” in its entirety?
