The document defines key terms and formulas related to NBC Rule 7 and 8 calculations for building development. It outlines terms like total lot area, percentage of site occupancy, allowable maximum building footprint. It also lists formulas to calculate metrics like maximum allowable construction area, total open space within the lot, gross floor area. Finally, it provides 4 ways to determine the allowable maximum building footprint.

• PSO Percentage of site occupancy o The part of the lot occupied by the building (A.K.A. building footprint expressed in percentage (%)) • AMBF Allowable Maximum Building Footprint o The part of the lot occupied by the building (A.K.A. building footprint expressed in area (sq.m)) • TOSL Total Open Space Within the Lot o The part of the lot NOT occupied by the building • USA Unpaved Surface Area o The portion of the open space that is unpaved o Always maximum • ISA Impervious Surface Area o The portion of the open space that is paved o Always minimum • MACA Maximum Allowable Construction Area o The total development of the site excluding all unpaved areas • GFA Gross Floor Area o Total enclosed floor area (including balconies) o Excludes the following enclosed areas: 1. Parking, services, utilities 2. Vertical penetrations in parking floors if not used for residential or commercial purposes 3. Balconies exceeding 10sqm, uncovered areas, fire escape structures, etc. • TGFA Total Gross Floor Area o Includes all enclosed floor areas, no exceptions • AMVB Allowable Maximum Volume of Building • OFB Outer Faces of the Building • FLAR Floor and/to Lot Area Ratio
Formulas
• MACA PSO + ISA
• TLA = MACA + USA • TLA = PSO + TOSL • TOSL = ISA + USA • PSO = (AMBF/TLA) x 100 • GFA = TLA x FLAR • TGFA = GFA + Non-GFA
