BOMA 2017 for Office Buildings: What's New

Recorded On: 11/14/2017

For more than a century, BOMA has set the standard for measuring office buildings, starting with the publication of the first “Office Measurement Standard” in 1915. BOMA 2017 for Office Buildings: Standard Methods of Measurement (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1—2017) is the latest update to the office standard. As office buildings continue to evolve with complex architectural designs along with the growing tenant demands for amenity-rich building features, the BOMA 2017 Office Standard addresses the changing office building landscape. Find out what’s new in the 2017 Office Standard in this 60-minute webinar presented by several of the key architects of the new standard. This course is approved for one AIA Learning Unit Hour (LU).
