other non-industrial buildings, includes enclosed & connected sealed or

- Object
- utility buildings, including pump houses, power transfer, etc. = buildings that support infrastructure, such as irrigation, electricity, and communications, but are not themselves used directly for industrial production. Usually very little human activity within these buildings.
- commercial buildings
- government, public, & educational buildings
- churches & temples
- clan building (not a residence) = building owned and managed by a clan organization.
- parking structure = multi-story parking structure
- Scale (of facility)
- small <30 m
- large >30 m

-
IF TYPE with greater area is very similar or otherwise unclear:
- Choose commercial buildings over government, public, & educational buildings.
- IF it is unclear whether the size of a parking lot that adjoins or encircles other builtup/building features is large enough to map and classify as a separate feature (area is similar to 30m, 1000m2), then map and classify it as a separate os08 parking lot feature.
- If >50% area is water tank or the water tank area is similar to the pump house area, then classify as GROUP = ir.
- IF clearly <50% of feature area is water tank, then use nb.
- IF it is unclear whether the size of a parking lot that adjoins or encircles other builtup/building features is large enough to map and classify as a separate feature (area is similar to 30m, 1000m2), then map and classify it as a separate os08 parking lot feature.
