Comparison of floor area ratio (FAR) or floor space index (FSI) and building coverage ratio (BCR) Floor area ratio (FAR) is the ratio of a building's total floor area (gross floor area) to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. It is often used as one of the regulations in city planning along with the building-to-land ratio. [1]

Often, it is most useful to collect data on a scale that matches the thermal zoning of the building.
