architectural height (CTBUH)
The architectural height of a building measured from the floor level of the lower entrance.
The CTBUH height measures a building from the floor level of the lowest entrance exposed to the open air, except for entrances opening onto spaces dug into the earth (such as sunken plazas or moats). The upper end of the measurement (the top of a building) is treated identically to the normal architectural height.
Differences between this height field and the normal architectural height arise in buildings where either (A) the entrance is elevated from the ground by a stairway or platform; or (B) the entrance faces an open area lower than the base landscape or urban plain such as a riverfront (below street level) or a sunken plaza (below street level but not below ground).
