Why do commercial buildings have high ceilings?
Nov 11, 2006 by Joe K | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I notice that in buildings like libraries, offices, stores, etc, that the ceilings are always higher than what you would normally see in a house. It seems like so much wasted space up there. Is there a specific purpose for making the ceilings higher?
Because having a low ceiling in a commercial place could be seen as discriminating against really tall people who would be forced to duck when walking in.

usually it is to run cable and fire breaks, for retail it is for marketing.

In addition to the two previous answers, it is a security reason. By having the ceiling high allow the engineers to place bright lights that will cover a lot more space compared to a lower ceiling that will allow more shadow in different corners around the facility. Also the height plays a good factor also when it comes to place security cameras. Most cameras has the capability to focus and zoom on objects; the higher the ceiling, the fewer cameras is needed. Beside by having the camera installed very high, not only stop burglars who would attempt to cover the camera with objects or with their shadow, but also give the security team the advantage of better vision on individuals and objects in every corner of the store on the same screen.

what is going dollar rate per square foot commercial paint spraying ceilings?
Feb 05, 2008 by Robert Z | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
That would depend a whole lot on where you live and if the ceiling were very high.. For a union contractor here in California where wages are high it could go as high as $2.00

What kind of air conditioning unit do I need for a 500sq.foot room with 12' ceilings?
Apr 03, 2006 by jewbaccaMD | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
hello friends,
I am opening up a small store and I need to put a ductless air-con unit in there.
The space is 500 square feet, 12 foot ceilings, with a flat roof on top, concrete floors and brick walls. I also have a few appliances in the store that will give off a little heat.
I've been talking to air cond people and getting recommendations for all kinds of units. Some say I have to use a commercial unit, some say I can get away with a high powered residential unit.
I'd like to keep my costs down, so i'm trying to figure out a way to keep the store cool without spending a fortune. I'm thinking about using ceiling fans along with an air con...
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
thanks!
Try the calculator at the first link below (it is an estimate and will not be as exact as a contractor's calculation). Read the footnote at the bottom of their web page to understand the other factors that could affect cooling requirements.
That should give you an idea of which quotes are in the right ballpark as far as the size of the unit goes. You would be well-advised to look at the efficiency of the unit as your operating costs are an important consideration. Also know that it is not a good idea to oversize the unit. There are a number of problems, described in the second link below that occur when you oversize a unit.
That should give you enough information to calculate the total cost of owning and operating the unit over it's useful life. You can then use the information to determine the least cost alternative that will get the job done.
As for whether a commercial or residential unit is required... if it's a small store, either would work provided you can get a unit with the BTU rating and efficiency you need.
