This is a highly tested measurement concept on the Alberta real estate licensing exam \u2014 and it can be confusing if you don\u2019t understand the two-step rule. In this video from The Alberta Real Estate School, we break down RMS height requirements clearly and simply. Here\u2019s 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\u2019s 7 feet throughout. Step 2: The 5-Foot Rule for Sloped Ceilings If the ceiling is sloped: \u2022 There must still be at least one area that reaches 7 feet \u2022 You may only include floor area where the ceiling height is 5 feet or higher \u2022 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: \u2022 Practice of Residential Real Estate \u2022 Alberta real estate licensing exams (RECA) \u2022 Measurement questions \u2022 Avoiding square footage misrepresentation \u2022 Listing accuracy Understanding RMS properly protects you legally and ensures compliance when advertising square footage.
