Template:Infobox building

Infobox building may be used to summarize information about a building, including skyscrapers, hotels, hostels, performance venues, and shopping centers.

Usage

Use as a child template
The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another (see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes).



Embedding other templates
The embedded parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Infobox modules).

Height parameters
The following parameters are provided for the height of buildings. They include parameters corresponding to methods used by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) to measure the height of tall buildings. CTBUH heights are measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance of the building.

Map and coordinates
It's usually not necessary to use the  parameter.
 * The latitude and longitude of the building may be specified:
 * in decimal degrees, using  and   OR
 * in degrees/minutes/seconds, using,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , and.
 * To display coordinates at the top of the page, set  to any non-blank value.  Otherwise coordinates will appear in the infobox only.
 * The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the  parameter.
 * To override the automatic value, use the  parameter.

One advantage of omitting the  parameter is that you can display a Location map without duplicating coordinates.




 * Parameters to specify coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc:




 * Parameters to specify coordinates in decimal degrees:



Note: coordinates in decimal degrees are sensitive to extra whitespace in the parameters:
 * Incorrect:
 * Correct:
