The building code defines building area as "the area included within surrounding exterior walls (or exterior walls and firewalls) exclusive of vent shafts and courts. Areas of the building not provided with surrounding walls shall be included in the building area if such areas are included within the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above". How many of you would include a roof overhang such as in the image below within the building area, specifically for allowable area calculations?
