Rational rules differ from rules of thumbs in a number of ways, and these are discussed in the paper. The systematic methodology is built around the use of rational rules. When a number of zones are grouped together they form a stack, which is effectively a building within a larger building that is served by a main lobby or by a sky lobby. A zone is a group of contiguous floors that are served by a group of elevators and are fixed in hardware.

A sector is a group of floors that are served by one or more elevators in a journey and are not necessarily fixed and are not necessarily contiguous. In order to ensure clarity and consistency, it defines the terms sector, zone and stack. This paper attempts to develop a systematic methodology for the design of high-rise buildings, by the use of rational rules. This is especially true for high-rise buildings.
