Q.4 Floor where the dwelling is located


26. For each dwelling located in the building, record the level of the floor where it is situated (basement, semi-basement, mezzanine, the number of the floor or in the attic/garret). Enter an x in the box of the corresponding code for dwellings located in the basement (code 30), semi-basement (40), ground (50), mezzanine (60) and attic/garret (70).

If the dwelling is located in an upper floor, record the floor number in Arabic figures (for example: 01, 05, 11) in the designated blank box .

Dwellings with living rooms located on several floors but structurally and functionally constituting a single whole unit, will be considered situated at the same level as the main entrance of the dwelling.

For dwellings having detached rooms using a separate entrance to access rooms located on other levels, the form will record the level where the dwelling is situated, the detached rooms being considered, typically, to be situated at the same level.

For marginal housing units, regardless of their location, do not report the level of the floor.

When recording the floor level of the dwelling, consider the following:

Level of the floor is the space in a building between two successive floors; it indicates free space from the floor to the ceiling elements (beams, pipes, etc.), reaching from the floor to the ceiling at least to a height of 1,80 m. above the ground. The definition of a floor level includes the basement, semi- basement, ground, mezzanine, individual floors and the attic.

The garret, partial or intermediary concrete panel floors, and the cellar are not considered levels.

The basement is the level where more than half of the height of the rooms is below the level of the ground.

The semi-basement is the level having no more than half of the floor space below the level of the ground.

Ground is the level where the lower floor is at the same level or roughly the same level with the ground; sometimes this level is situated at a specific height above the ground (about 1,50 m). Individual buildings with only one dwelling such as rural houses, usually are situated at ground level.

The mezzanine (ground floor 2) is the level inserted between the ground floor and the first floor, being different than other floors either by its lower height, by the absence of balconies, or by designation as accessory spaces for ground stores, warehouses for goods, workshops or offices.

A floor is any level having the same amount of floor space, situated between the ground floor or mezzanine and the attic or garret.

The attic is the floor level of the building, just below the roof of a house. Generally the height of the attic up to the ceiling is at least 1, 80 m in the highest portion of this room.
