This is a highly tested measurement concept on the Alberta real estate licensing exam — and it can be confusing if you don’t understand the two-step rule. In this video from The Alberta Real Estate School, we break down RMS height requirements clearly and simply. Here’s what you must remember: Step 1: The 7-Foot Rule To include any space in Residential Measurement Standard (RMS) calculations, there must be at least 7 feet of ceiling height somewhere in the room. If the ceiling is flat, this means it’s 7 feet throughout. Step 2: The 5-Foot Rule for Sloped Ceilings If the ceiling is sloped: • There must still be at least one area that reaches 7 feet • You may only include floor area where the ceiling height is 5 feet or higher • Any area below 5 feet is excluded from RMS measurements So in an attic-style room with sloped ceilings: You measure from where the ceiling reaches 7 feet and include space down to where it drops to 5 feet. Anything below 5 feet does not count toward RMS square footage. This topic is critical for: • Practice of Residential Real Estate • Alberta real estate licensing exams (RECA) • Measurement questions • Avoiding square footage misrepresentation • Listing accuracy Understanding RMS properly protects you legally and ensures compliance when advertising square footage.
