Calculations
Here are all the relevant calculations :
-
Ground Floor Area = 80,000 SF
-
Site Area = 1,122,000 SF
-
Number of floors = 211 Total (209 Above Grade & 2 Below Grade), (2 Parking, 14 Mechanical, 46 Spire / Mechanical, 90 Residential, 37 Office, 13 Hotel, 4 Communication & Broadcasting, 5 Miscellaneous)
-
Total Building Area = 3,330,000 SF
-
Number of occupants - 3,330,000 SF / (200SF/Occupant) = 16,650 Occupants
-
Building Elevation Area = 1,100,000 SF Glass / ( 3 Sides ) = 370,000 SF
Assuming that the area of the three main faces is 1/3 the area of the glass used to cover all of the facade
The area for each of the three main faces are nearly the same
