There are several different standards that define how area should be measured and calculated in commercial office buildings. The dominant standard in North America is the BOMA 96 standard, but in certain cities such as Washington and New York other local standards dominate. I will attach links to a description of how the BOMA 96 standard works as well as a link to a list of other standards.
