2.7.1 Net Living Area
a) Net living area is measured from the inside face of wall to inside face of the opposing wall. Door swing areas and mechanical unit areas which specifically serve the room are included in net calculations.
b) Areas excluded from net living area calculations are areas not privately controlled by a resident, shapes furred to hide through-the-wall equipment or used for storage not specific to the apartment; furred-out columns, pilaster, and mechanical or plumbing chases that extend into the living and
bedroom area from the wall plane, if such items extend from floor to ceiling; and bulk storage not accessible from within the apartment.
c) Countless configurations are possible in the design of typical modules, and improvements are encouraged. It is impossible to describe all configurations in this handbook. The method of measuring net living area for intricate designs may require interpretation by EFD or EFA staff. Refer to DOD
4165.63-M or more information on net living area calculations.
2.7.2 Gross Module Area. Gross module area is defined as the area within the walls comprising the perimeter of an apartment module. Wall thickness and chase areas within the perimeter
walls are included. Gross module area is measured from the centerline of perimeter walls shared with interior corridors, common chases, or other rooms. It is measured to the outside face of exterior walls. Corner rooms with two exterior walls should have the same interior dimensions as other rooms even
though, technically, the gross module area for these corner rooms is slightly more than for other rooms.
