8.5 Buildings with Multiple Dwelling Units

There are three classifications of multiple dwelling unit buildings:

•      Buildings with two dwelling units (duplexes): Each dwelling unit is modeled as an individual single family building.

•      Buildings consisting of townhouse style dwelling units. These have no common ceilings or floors between dwelling units. Each dwelling unit is modeled as an individual single family building.

•      Buildings consisting of three or more dwelling units that are not townhouses (R-2 occupancy group). Model as a multifamily building.
