7.12 Ledges

7.12.1 Air-conditioner ledges

Air-conditioner ledges, including L-shaped a/c ledges not exceeding 1m wide, as
measured perpendicularly from the external wall, are excluded from GFA.
 This also applies to the situations illustrated below, where the a/c ledges may
project more than 1m at the corner, as measured from the wall.

For a/c ledges exceeding 1m width, the entire area is computed as GFA. This is
to ensure that a/c ledges are used for the sole purpose of supporting a/c
equipment and not as extended ledges that may be converted later to liveable
area (e.g. balcony, room extension).
