Exterior Square Footage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the exterior square footage:

\[ ESF = L \times W \]

Where:

\( ESF \) is the exterior square footage (sq ft)
\( L \) is the length of the building (ft)
\( W \) is the width of the building (ft)

What is Exterior Square Footage?

Exterior square footage refers to the total measurement of all the outside space that a property has. This can include elements such as the building’s footprint, yard, driveway, patio, deck, porch, pool, and any other outdoor features. It is often used in real estate to help determine the value of a property, as larger exterior spaces can often command higher prices.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Length of the Building \( L \) = 50 ft
Width of the Building \( W \) = 30 ft

Step 1: Multiply the length by the width:

\[ ESF = 50 \times 30 = 1500 \text{ sq ft} \]
