<div>Hi Rob,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>this is a good question and important to understand about how inputs are translated to DOE & reported in the output.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes you are right that the summary is accounting for the floor area of the unconditioned spaces as well and the plenum spaces. If you look at report LV-B, summary of spaces in your project you will find the info you are looking for.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This report is a listing of all the spaces (or thermal zones) in the project. Theis listing incudes both conditioned spaces as well as unconditioned spaces and plenums. In reviewing this report, pay special attention to the column labeled "space floor multiplier". The total area and volume for each space is this value times the area and volume listed in the last two columns. The building totals row includes the effect of these multipliers, but the area includes plenums and unconditioned spaces as well. </div>

My building has three floors, each about 9,500 square feet. However, the looking at the BEPU and other reports are showing a total utility cost of 110632$ and a $/sqft of 2.25. this shows a sqft of about 50,000 for the building. Is this something that i should disregard or is it relevant? I have also modeled the unconditioned space above each room as a separate space. Could the program be combining this plenum space into the sqft of the entire building? Is this plenum sqft affecting the output of the reports? any help is greatly appreciated.<br clear="all">
