Within the BGSF conversion, which factor corresponds to Circulation?

• A. 1.15
• B. 1.12
• C. 1.02
• D. 1.075

Answer: (B)

In BGSF conversion, you convert a space’s net square footage into gross square footage by applying a space-type multiplier that accounts for the area needed for things like walls, corridors, doors, and movement space. Circulation specifically uses a factor of 1.12, meaning you multiply the net circulation area by 1.12 to get its gross equivalent. For example, 5,000 net square feet of Circulation becomes 5,600 gross square feet (5,000 × 1.12). The other numbers represent multipliers for different space types in the same conversion table, so they don’t apply to Circulation.
