Additonal gross square footage

What does "gross square footage" mean in this sentence?

The additional gross square footage significantly increased operations and maintenance cost thereby, resulting in a large reduction in the maintainability rating.
  

Top answer

"square footage" means area measured in square feet. "gross" means "inclusive of everything" (prior to any deductions), which I understand in this case means the entire area within the perimeter, including areas that may not be available for use.
