Charlie is designing a medium-sized spec office building with a 6” metal deck floor (including finished floor) and a steel structural system with 22” deep beams. The owner’s main wish is to maximize rentable area, but she also requested that the glazing height must be tall enough to provide reasonable daylight penetration. The building is set to have a floor-wide above-ceiling horizontal distribution of services, hidden in a plenum that extends all the way to the façade’s spandrel panels. If the building height is limited to 100’, what is the correct number of floors that satisfies the client’s needs?
5 floors
6 floors
7 floors
8 floors
