Area DefinitionsAllocating UFAGreen Star - Education v1Area ScheduleIDDefinitions:Gross Floor Area (GFA) The total floor area of all parts of a building that are permanently covered and can be protected from the elements. Car parking (including under-cover car parking) should not be included in the GFA.

Usable Floor Area (UFA) The sum of the floor areas measured at floor level from the general inside face of walls of all spaces related to the primary function of the building. This will normally be computed by calculating the Fully Enclosed Covered Area (FECA) and deducting common use areas, service areas, and non-habitable areas. Note: in some cases the UFA may include some external covered areas which relate to the primary function of the building. Example: an open but roofed hydraulics modelling laboratory associated with Civil Engineering should be counted as part of the UFA. Common use areas include corridors which are defined by partitions but do not include passages ad secondary circulation areas which are part of open plan spaces Foyers of large lecture theatres should be treated as UFA.SpaceIDGFA (m2)UFA (m2)Space Type Definition used for Ene-1 Greenhouse Gas EmissionsNotesThis column is for the schedule of areas in your specific project. Please list the areas on a floor-by-floor basis, as this will make it easier for us to correlate the areas listed with those on the marked-up schematics. We have listed a couple of examples.This column is simply for the area ID as shown on the drawings submitted. Please leave these cells blank if there is no ID number/letter for the areas in the project.This column is for you to enter the area considered to form part of the GFA for the project. In Green Star Education v1, GFA is defined as follows:

This column is for you to enter the area considered to form part of the UFA for the project. In Green Star Education v1, UFA is defined as follows:

This column is used to define each of the areas as one of the space types listed in the Green Star Education v1 Energy Calculator Guide for the purpose of energy modelling in the credit Ene-1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The space types are listed on Page 25 of the Energy Calculator Guide. Examples of spaces that fall into these categories are given in the guide, if there is an area in your project that does not obviously fall into one of these categories, the project team should choose the most appropriate alternative. Please note the entire GFA is to be classified as one of these space types with the exception of plant rooms and comms rooms which can be labeled as Excluded (plant rooms). This spreadsheet can then be checked by the assessors during the assessment, to ensure that all spaces used for the energy modelling are consistent.Please enter the areas of the project on a floor-by-floor basis so they can be easily correlated with plan view-schematics.Please enter the corresponding area ID shown on the pan view schematicsIn these cells please indicate the amount of area considered as GFAIn these cells please indicate the amount of area considered as UFAPlease select from the drop-down menu whic space type has been assigned to each area for the purposes of energy modelling in Ene-1 Greenhosue Gas EmissionsPlase indicate whether any special conditions exist for a particular area that prevents them meeting the credit criteria for a credit. This can be used to determine whether the project team will bve required to submit a Credit Interpretation Request. e.g. Basement LevelEntryB.01500Common SpacesDock OfficeB.021515Office and Staff RoomsPlant RoomB.03200Excluded (Plant rooms)Lift 01B.0430Common SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesCommon SpacesTOTAL8815
