Volume (VOL)

This is a measure of the cubic internal volume of a building between the inner faces of the external walls x the height floor to ceiling, (m³) This excludes inner structures, suspended ceilings etc.( Note; this is a measure that varies country to country). Greater emphasis on sustainability means that the measured volume is more often required with the use of A/C, air-handling and ventilation. In continental Europe construction prices are often given per GFA m² and per volume m³.
