The Building Area Method is a method used to determine the maximum interior lighting power allowance for a building based on its total area. According to this method, the maximum interior lighting power allowance is calculated by multiplying the total area of the building by a predetermined lighting power density value. In this case, since the total area of the warehouse is given as 50,000 square feet, and the lighting power density value for an unconditioned warehouse with a ceiling height of 30 feet is 0.66 watts per square foot, the maximum interior lighting power allowance would be 33,000 watts (50,000 square feet * 0.66 watts per square foot).
