    In a sample scenario, you have designed masses to explore a conceptual design for a building. (See Examples of Conceptual Design Analysis.) You want to analyze the most cost-effective or profitable mix of uses for each floor of the building.

    To perform this analysis, you must do the following:

    • Assign a usage to each mass floor.
    • Calculate the area of each mass floor.
    • Calculate the percentage of floor space devoted to each usage.
    • Use this information to determine the best mix of uses for the design.
