momepy.floor_area

momepy.floor_area(area, height, floor_height=3)

Calculates floor area of each object based on height and area.

The number of floors is simplified into the formula: height // floor_height. B y default one floor is approximated to 3 metres.

\[area * \frac{height}{floor_height}\]

Parameters:

areaNDArray[np.float64] | Series

array of areas

heightNDArray[np.float64] | Series

array of heights

floor_heightfloat | NDArray[np.float64] | Series, optional

float denoting the uniform floor height or an aarray reflecting the building height by geometry, by default 3

Returns:

NDArray[np.float64] | Series

array of a type depending on the input

Examples

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> area = pd.Series([100, 30, 40, 75, 230])
>>> height = pd.Series([22, 6.5, 12, 9, 4.5])
>>> momepy.floor_area(area, height)
0    700.0
1     60.0
2    160.0
3    225.0
4    230.0
dtype: float64

If you know average height of floors per each building, you can pass it directly:

>>> floor_height = pd.Series([3.2, 3, 4, 3, 4.5])
>>> momepy.floor_area(area, height, floor_height=floor_height)
0    600.0
1     60.0
2    120.0
3    225.0
4    230.0
