How do I exclude mechanical rooms in my revit model before sending to GBS for daylighting LEED calculation, yet keep them included in the energy calcs?

There are two workarounds I can suggest:
Don't include a mechanical room object in your model. You can treat the mechanical room as a non-thermal space unless it has an exterior wall.
The other option is to not model the mechanical room at all.
Neither of these is probably what you want to hear, but I don't know whether you can tweak a GBS model without running it through EnergyPlus.

From what I understand if you have Revit MEP you cant set the space occupancy. I am fairly certain this function is not in Revit Architecture, which is a bummer in this case.

Or just edit XML by assigning the appropriate tags and their values.
