Note: It should be noted that the height of the boiler room itself exceeds the height of one floor, and when it is located in other buildings, it may occupy the height of two floors. As long as the boiler room itself is arranged as one floor and there is no floor in the middle, it will still be regarded as the first floor or the first floor, regardless of whether it has reached the second floor or the second floor of the building.
