Basics
Cestor | A portion of the land reflecting existing utilities, such as gas or electricity, that divides the site or subsites into smaller parts. |
Site Area [m²] | The total land area of the development or investment site. |
Total Building Footprint Area / Total Building Coverage Area [m²] | The combined ground-level area covered by all buildings, relating to the outer perimeter boundary of each building. |
Building Footprint Area [%] and [m²] | The ground-level area covered by the building, relating to the outer perimeter boundary. Building Footprint Area [m²] = Warehouses [m²] + Offices [m²] |
Coverage [%] | The percentage of the site area occupied by buildings, calculated as: (Total Building Footprint Area ÷ Site Area) × 100%. |
Hardscape Area [%] and [m²] | The part of a site covered by buildings, facilities, and non-permeable materials such as pavements, roads, parking areas, and retention basins. This includes: |
Total Building Footprint Area [m²] Warehouses [m²] - the area of the warehouse’s ground level Offices [m²] - the offices of the warehouse’s ground level | |
Paved Surfaces (roads, truck courts, parking areas) [m²] | |
Facilities [m²] (Fire Safety Facilities [m²], Lodges [m²], Retention Basins [m²]) | |
Green Area [%] and [m²] | The portion of the site dedicated to greenery, such as lawns, gardens, and trees. This is expressed in square meters [m²] and as a percentage [%]. The calculation is: (Greenery ÷ Site Area) × 100%. |
Docks
Total Docks Count | The total number of docks available. |
Warehouses Footprint Area Per Dock [m²] | The area of the warehouse’s ground level, measured to the outer perimeter of external walls, divided by the number of docks, representing the average space allocated per dock. Formula: Warehouses Area ÷ n (where n is the number of docks) |
Solar Panels
Solar Panels Total Area [m²] | The total surface area of solar panels. |
Solar PV Capacity [kWp] | The peak capacity of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system, representing the maximum power the system can generate under ideal conditions. |
Estimated Annual Energy Production [kWh] | The predicted total amount of electrical energy produced by the solar system in one year, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). |
Site Infrastructure
Truck Court | The area between the road and a warehouse where trucks load and unload goods. It includes features such as dock doors, maneuvering space, trailer parking, and driveways to facilitate efficient freight handling. |
Retention Basin | The artificial reservoir designed to manage stormwater runoff by collecting and holding excess water. |
Dimensions
Width | The measurement or extent of something from side to side. |
Length | The measurement or extent of something from end to end. |
Height | The third dimension, representing the measurement of an object or space in the vertical direction. |
