Which code to design to?
Differing approaches regionally towards fire protection
Differing energy sources for material production
9 stories (IV-C; no gypsum)
18 stories (IV-A; gypsum required)
Or look to the future, and model 20 / 40 / 60 stories?
Office = column & beam / Residential = shear wall
Differing floor-to-floor heights (e.g., office vs. residential)
