Australia has just recently brought out a "section J" of the building code which requires specific calcs to be done on all glazed areas of a building. They have provided a simple spreadsheet for us to plug data into, but i would love to do it all in revit.
So far, i can't see an easy way of doing it. Some info we need to plug in - such as reflectivity, height of shading above sill, etc - but i'm trying to get it to do a schedule of each glazed area with its surface area that i can then get it to perform further calculations on.
Problem is, we have glazing in curtain walls, doors and windows. Do i have to do a separate schedule for each of these, and then how am i meant to figure out which area of the curtain wall it is talking about? The material take-offs for area all seem to be wrong anyway - they report different areas for exactly the same family type!!
I tried placing filled regions over the glazed sections, but i cant schedule filled regions or their areas.
What do i do? Manual Calcs in an excel file?
