Mohamed, I think the floor area is the daylit area, you can check the latest addenda. As I remember, there is still a problem in the new definition. The problem in the revised calculation is that it only defines the distance to behind as the projection of the height of the window, but the calculation does not define the side distance of the daylit area from each side of the window.
