Hello again Phil Pugliese,
The American Institute of Architects Architectural Graphic Standards student edition textbook I have has standard residential ceiling height as 96 inches. The minimum height is 80 inches.
My search criteria was Architectural standard for interior ceiling height which returned a link to www.houzz.com the answer is
"Standard homes have 8-9 feet ceilings. 10' is generous. 12' is luxurious. There is not a requirement on ceiling height with your room size. Yes, higher ceilings WILL increase building costs. They will increase heating and cooling costs. My opinion is that 10' is generous and good size throughout the house, if you wish to create more inerest in some areas, use a cathedralized ceiling in say your foyer or master bedrooms. Or do a step down in some areas to create higher ceilings without making things look choppy. Have you consulted an architect? That is what I would advise to make your home have the best flow."
The criteria of standard ceiling height commercial provided this answer:
The clear ceiling height for office spaces is a minimum of 2700 mm (9 feet) for spaces that are larger than 14 m2 (150 square feet). The clear ceiling height of individual office rooms not exceeding an occupiable 14 m2 (150 square feet) is a minimum of 2400 mm (8 feet).

On the four submarines I was on the ceiling height in an area without anything hanging down was about 76 inches. On the tender I served on in my last sea tour the berthing compartments had the tallest ceilings. The one I was assigned was probably 10 or 12 feet.
In CT the 3I standard height is 3 meters or about 9.8 feet and TNE the height is 3.5 meters or about 11.5 feet. TNE FF&S explains that the 0.5 was the space that plumbing, ventilation, heating, lights, wiring ran through. If 0.5 meters is used for running stuff through the in CT the actual ceiling would be 2.5 m or about 8.2 feet.
The ceiling height for other races would vary according to their standard height. IIRC an article on the Droyne indicated the ceiling height was lower than standard 3I.

The whole thing is a cube, square root of 104 is 10.2’. Cubed is 1060 cf, or ~30 cubic meters, just over 2 dtons. Interior living space would be a little less, due to infrastructure losses.
