<DIV>As an example, you say you have identical floors. Assuming you are in the SD Wizard, you state on Screen One (General Shell Information) that you are using floors multipliers (check box) and state the correct number onf florrs. If you DO have several shells (for different zoning purposes) make SURE each shell multiplies only those identical floors. If you have, say, 3 different shells. Shell No 1 x identical floors + Shell 2 x identical floors Shell 3 x identical s floors MUST = 18.</DIV>

<DIV>Hope this helps.</DIV>

The model is working fine but there is an issue in the areas calculated by the model. It seems that the areas are getting multiplied several times. This is thus also affecting the end energy usage results. Can anyone please suggest me how to use the shell multipliers just to get the right results.<BR clear=all><BR><BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Akshay Pahade<BR>Project Engineer,<BR>Kamal Cogent Energy Pvt.
