    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Deals with the definition and calculation of surface area and volume indicators. Uses the intra-muros and extra-muros concept in defining area measurement. Does not consider the wall centre method of measurement. Meant to be used when establishing: technical documentation relating to the performance of whole buildings prepared by designers, manufacturers and contractors; specifications for the geometric performance of a building and its spaces; evaluation, comparison or control of the properties of a building which are connected to its geometric performance.
