For a warehouse, can I deduct the permanently fixed high racking coverage area from the gross floor area, and focus my 75% daylight coverage on the aisles and landing spaces only? I say yes. Right? using TDD's & simulation. ( I can't believe I don't know this answer, forgive me if this is a regularly asked question, and I missed it in a search result. I have read several posts and I am not sure I am clear.)

Permanently mounted rack system that cannot be occupied by a person can be excluded from your regularly occupied floor area calcs. An yes, you will need to show the illuminance levels in the aisle. Also, as noted in the regularly occupied space matrix dated April 2015, an inactive warehouse/storage does not have to be included in the credit. So you could exclude the whole area if it is not considered active.
