Approved Ruling:
When calculating the % coverage of carpets or acoustic ceiling tiles with respect to habitable space area, the Homestar Assessor may exclude the kitchen wet areas of open plan kitchen/living spaces. This is because (a) these wet areas should not have carpet, and (b) separate kitchens are already excluded from habitable space therefore it would be inappropriate to penalise dwellings with open plan kitchen living areas.
