and sizes, and were selected from the offices of
seven architectural firms. The buildings were
designed between 1963 and 1970, and are all,
except one, located in Sydney.
The compilation of data was made from drawings
of the buildings studied as, in most instances, no
comprehensive analysis of areas had been prepared
by the architects. On the occasion when an area
analysis was available, it took the form of a summary prepared at the completion of the drawing
stage, considering only gross, index and net
rentable areas. No attempt to pinpoint areas of
possible wastage was made by a more detailed
analysis. In particular, the reduction of rentable
area attributable to horizontal circulation on
multi-tenancy floors was hardly ever investigated by
the architect. For only one of the twenty buildings
studied was a comprehensive analysis prepared by
the architects available for the study.
Because of the necessity of relying on measurements taken from drawings supplied by the
architects, only ground floor(s) and office floors
of the buildings were included in the data sheets,
and index areas rather than gross areas were
considered. Thus all floors below ground level
(basement shopping floors, parking, plant) and
upper floors totally occupied by plant or parking
have been excluded. Upper floors rented wholly or
partially for stores, conference areas, computer
centres, cafetarias, etc., have been considered as

lobby area is not significant for single zone buildings; that the typical floor lobby area is not
significant for multiple zone buildings.
From the differences found for certain variables
between single and multiple zoned buildings, it was
decided that these two subsets of samples should be
used wherever possible.
3.3 Equations for single regression
The extremely high values for the coefficient of
correlation between the total index area and a
number of other factors measured in the buildings
suggested that a rough predictive guide for those
factors might be based on the total index area
alone. Such a relationship would prove an invaluable guide in the preparation of the initial feasibility
study for a building project as the total allowable
index area is known right at the beginning of a
project as it is dependent on only the site area and
the site ratio. Four factors were selected for
analysis with the total index area and are shown as
figures 7-10. The equations are shown below.
No. of elevators --0.002 Total index area+ 1-315 (single zone)
0.003
+ 2.096 (multi zone)
0"003
+ 0.912 (all buildings)
Total core area =
0.22 x Total index area - 745 (single zone)
0.23
+1631 (multi zone)
0.24
- 2296 (all buildings)
Ground lobby area =

buildings
0.023 x Total index a r e a - 4100 (multi zone)
0.0165
- 1147 (all buildings)
Total lobby area =
0.031 x Total index a r e a + 1080 (single zone)
0.023
+6310 (multi zone)
0.032
+ 1350 (all buildings)
It can be seen that, for all except ground floor lobby
area, the equations based on the sample of all
twenty buildings provide a rough but useful
relationship between total index area and the
factor under consideration.
3.4 Equations for multiple regression
In order that lobby and other areas could be
predicted with respect to more detailed decisions
of the building design, several multiple regression
analyses were carried out. The groupings of
variables chosen was based on two principles: (i)
that the coefficient of correlation between dependent
and independent variables be high and (ii) that the
coefficient of correlation between the independent
variables be low. Several different sets of independent variables were chosen in accordance with the

Der Bericht befal3t sich mit Ermittlung eines empirisch geformten Modells von
Fahrstuhlvorhallen in Hochhausbiirogeb~iuden. Er befaBt sich kurz mit den
Konstruktionenproblemen, die durch Fahrstuhlvorhallen hervorgerufen werden
und legt das Verfahren lest, mit welchem gegenw/irtig Vorhallen entworfen werden.
Es wird eine Methode ftir die Analyse von Vorhallen fiir Fahrstiihle und von anderen
horizontalen Verkehrsfl/ichen in Biirogeb/iuden formuliert, welche sich auf eine
Anzahl Ver/inderlicher grtindet, einschlieBlich: Platzbedarffl/ichenindex, Bau- und
aktive Zonenfl/iche, Vorhallenfl/iche, Verkehrsfl/iche innerhalb der aktiven Zonenfl/iche des Baus, gesamte Verkehrsfl/iche und Nettobiirofl/iche zur Miete. Diese
Methode wird fiir zwanzig BtirogeNiude in Sidney angewandt, um eine Datengrundlage zu erhalten. Die mit mehreren statistischen Verfahren dutch Verarbeitung
der Datengrundlage erhaltenen Ergebnisse umfassen:
1. Das Verh/iltnis zwischen einer Anzahl von F1/ichentypen und der Indexfl/iche,
welches als Richtlinie zur Voraussage der Leistungsf/ihigkeit des Geb/iudes in einer
provisorischen Entwurfsstufe benutzt werden kann.
2. Die Verh/iltnisse zur Festlegung von Leistungsnormen ftir Fahrstuhlvorhallen.
3. Gleichungen in Bezug auf Umlaufsverkehr und andere F1/ichen im Verh/iltnis
zu der gesamten Indexfl/iche des Geb~iudes.
4. Ausfiihrliche Gleichungen in Bezug auf Umlaufverkehr und andere Fl~ichen im
Verh/iltnis zu einigen der frtiheren Entscheidungen, welche fur den Entwurf von
Biirohochh/iusern gemacht wurden.
Diese Ergebnisse k~Snnen zur Aufstellung yon Konstruktionstabellen als Hilfsmittel fiir Architekten benutzt werden und ktinnten auch in einem algorithmischen
Entwurfsverfahren f'tir Btirohochh~iuser mit Hilfe yon Rechen ger/itenverwandt
werden.
