The intermediate floor, and the strongest quantified argument the system makes for mid-rise. At 159 kg/m² against a traditional equivalent of 513 kg/m², it removes roughly 350 kg from every square metre of floor plate. On a 5,000 m² four-storey building that is about 1,750 tonnes of dead load that the foundations never have to carry.
