7 principles of universal design
Definition
Equitable use – the design is useful and sellable to people with diverse abilities
Flexibility in use – the design benefits a wide range of preferences and abilities
Simple and intuitive use – use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or concentration level
Perceptible information – the design is easily communicated to the user
Tolerance for error – the design reduces hazards and the consequences if an accident occurs
Low physical effort – the design can be used efficiently and comfortably with minimum fatigue
Appropriate size and space – there is enough size/space provided for approach, reach, and function, regardless of body size, posture, or mobility

Gross Area
Definition
The building gross area, defined as the “construction area” by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), is the floor area within the exterior face of the building including the thickness of the exterior wall. It is the total constructed space. This measurement is used in evaluating building efficiency and comparing the construction costs of various projects.

Rentable Area
Definition
The floor area that the tenant pays rent on is the rentable area, usually defined as the interior floor area excluding vertical penetrations through the floor (e.g., air shafts, elevators, and stairways). Rentable area includes structural elements such as columns and interior and exterior wall thicknesses. This measurement is used to determine the income-producing capability of a building.
