By doing this the BEPS/BEPU and LS-C reports all show the correct building area without affecting the building energy consumption.

I was able to modify the net area values (actually only the MBTU/net area value, as only this is displayed in the reports) by changing the conditioned - unconditioned - plenum status of the spaces (be careful, not the thermal zones, but the spaces).

I think the culprit might be unconditioned spaces but when I change these spaces to conditioned the problem still persists. Does anyone have any suggestions where to start trouble shooting or which report might tell me where the discrepancy is.
