The room arrangement in the facility allowed evaluation of 8 horizontal, 4 vertical, 8 diagonal, and 8 cross diagonal pairs of rooms. The floor flanking paths were characterized in the upper rooms of the facility, while the flanking paths of the diagonal and vertical room pairs were estimated using the same methodology. The methodology had its own limitations similar to other measurement methods, despite performing measurements and evaluations. ER -
