For air conditioned rooms a height of not less than 2 4 m measured from the top of the floor to the lowest point of the air conditioning duct or the false ceiling should be provided. Storeys within a building need not be all the same height often the lobby is taller for example. Tile and backer board combined typically add 1 2 inch to 1 inch in floor height. Installing tile raises the surface level of the floor slightly.
