Engineering ratios

Floor area ratio

Floor area ratio (FAR) is the ratio of a building's total floor area (gross floor area) to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. It is often used as one of the regulations in city planning along with the building-to-land ratio. The terms can also refer to limits imposed on such a ratio through zoning. Written as a formula, FAR = gross floor area/area of the plot. Lower maximum-allowed floor area ratios are linked to lower land values and lower housing density. (Wikipedia).
