Perimeter

Perimeter comes from the building outline. It is capped at 8 times the square root of the footprint, which keeps a merged city block or a serrated outline from inflating the wall.

Height

A measured height sets the wall height. A building with a floor count and a missing height uses 12.5 feet per floor.

Where the area goes

Wall area multiplies the service rate and the regional factor. How a SkyEstimate is built.
