I'm an architect trying to determine if an attic with habitable space constitutes a habitable attic. The IRC limits habitable attics to having ceiling heights of 7 ft. or more totaling not more than 1/3 of the area of the floor below; however, it's not clear if the calculation should be based on just the ceilings of the actual habitable spaces under the roof or if it should also include actual non habitable attic spaces (space between bottom of unfinished rafters and attic floor?).
