If you want to add mechanical floors to the count you'd have to add them to almost every high rise in the city. Charlie West, 1 Victoria, Young Condos, Breithaupt Block, etc all have 1-2 mechanical floors on top of the official floor count.
Yah true, I always thought however for true height of building you measure to architectural tip. Which includes any mechanical, spires, but not any antennas or radio masts. (Imo I think spires are kindof cheating) Eg. St Regis in Toronto or One World Trade in NYC. This is how all the websites are measure, Skyscraper City, Emporis etc
If you're measuring building height in meters then yes, that's the convention, but floor counts are separate from that. You'd say that DTK Condos is 128m/39fl.
That diagram appears to have some pretty wrong height markings though, the machine room at 571m makes the building taller than the CN Tower.
