usable area (The BOMA standard relies on two important definitions: "usable area" and "rentable area." ... Usable area can generally be considered as the private space that tenants can use to house their own personnel, furniture and equipment. It is measured from the office side of the common corridor walls, the inside of exterior building walls, and the middle of partition walls separating the tenant's space from space occupied by other tenants. It does not include restrooms, elevator shafts, fire escapes, stairwells, electrical and mechanical rooms, janitorial rooms, elevator lobbies, or public corridors (for example, a corridor leading from the elevator lobby to the entrance of a tenant's office).
