I clicked on the ceiling of the space just below the problematic plenum though, and found that it was set Next To the space it is a component of, rather than the plenum above. By fixing the ceiling’s Next To to be the plenum space, the plenum’s requirement of “at least 1 delayed floor and delayed wall” is met, and the warning goes away.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Holt Cutler, LEED AP<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><img width=51 height=60 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CC84DF.CE7E5120" alt="Description: Logo 2"></span><b><i><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>EME Consulting Engineering Group, LLC <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>159 West 25<sup>th</sup> Street, 5<sup>th</sup> Floor<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>New York, NY 10001<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>tel: 212-529-5969<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>fax: 212-529-6023<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.EMEgroup.com">www.EMEgroup.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org [mailto:equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Roger Maranan<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 15, 2011 11:33 AM<br><b>To:</b> R B<br><b>Cc:</b> equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Equest-users] Warning about delayed walls<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I noticed this warning only occurs for spaces that I designated as "Unconditioned" such as stairwells.
