Hello,

I am working on a retail coffee shop and I am uncertain as to how the area behind a coffee bean bar would fall within the persciptive calculation requirements of EQc8.1. I understand how a dropped ceiling would be accounted for in the calclatuions of floor area that is compliant but how would you account for a barista bar's height in the section drawing?

It's obviously a permanent component of the the project's design. If it's not accounted for in the description that'd be fine to know too.

Thanks,
Lauren
