One level of basement need not be included in calculations as long as
it complies with sec. 506.1.1.
Sec. 506.4 (Area Determination) deals with number of stories ABOVE THE
GRADE, therefore it is not recommended to use this calculator for
analyzing multiple levels of basements.
Per Sec. 505.1 the mezzanines are considered portion (and the area of
the mezzanine should be added to the area) of the story below.
This application is created by a professional to help professionals,
not to =93harvest=94 info.
Furthermore, I recommend you look more closely, my name and all
necessary information is provided on the website:
