The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, based at the Illinois Institute of
Technology in Chicago, is an international not-for-profit organization supported by
architecture, engineering, planning, development and construction professionals,
designed to facilitate exchanges among those involved in all aspects of the planning,
design, construction and operation of tall buildings.
The CTBUH is the world’s leading body in the field of tall buildings and the recognized
source of information on tall buildings internationally. It is the arbiter of the criteria
upon which tall building height is measured, and thus the title of “The World’s Tallest
Building” determined.

Level: finished floor level at threshold of the lowest entrance door.
1
Significant: the entrance should be predominantly above existing or pre-existing grade and permit access to one or more
primary uses in the building via elevators, as opposed to ground floor retail or other uses which solely relate/connect to the
immediately adjacent external environment. Thus entrances via below-grade sunken plazas or similar are not generally
recognized. Also note that access to car park and/or ancillary/support areas are not considered significant entrances.
2
Open-air: the entrance must be located directly off of an external space at that level that is open to air.
3
Pedestrian: refers to common building users or occupants and is intended to exclude service, ancillary, or similar areas.
4
Functional-technical equipment: this is intended to recognize that functional-technical equipment is subject to removal/
addition/change as per prevalent technologies, as is often seen in tall buildings (e.g., antennae, signage, wind turbines, etc.
are periodically added, shortened, lengthened, removed and/or replaced).
5
Highest occupied floor: this is intended to recognize conditioned space which is designed to be safely and legally occupied
by residents, workers or other building users on a consistent basis. It does not include service or mechanical areas which
experience occasional maintenance access, etc.
