Hello everybody!
Quick question that has me stumped. Someone in the office is running an energy analysis on a typical floor plate. There is simply a central core and an external office (I know this is not realistic, but this is not part of the question).
In Revit MEP 2008, the user has a core of 400 square meters and an external (surrounding) doughnut of 2100 square meters (for a total of 2500 square meters). Somehow, after hitting the Heating and Cooling Loads button, and running through the initial calcs, the IES (embedded in MEP) tells the user that the area is 2887 square meters! :?:
See the attached screen shots. Anyone have a simple reason that IES would give back a completely different square footage number than MEP???
Thanks in advance for suggestions, advice, etc.
Cheers,
Stephen
