    To my understandings - you cannot create new ones. Below is an image of the existing types available.

    i checked that your sent image. for instance, if you want to design a medicine factory, how will you add a building type as the medicine factory and space type

    Maybe I am not fully understanding you.

    The building type and space type parameters are used for calculating heating and cooling loads. You can adjust these settings from the default values - but over all this helps to set the parameters for the model and then down to spaces to create accurate analysis for load calculations.

     

    You cannot add to or remoeve the existing spaces.

     

    Not sure if this relaly helped...

    Hi all,

     

    Actually, the main problem is that,

     

    We are trying to define a space or building type, except already defined ones. The main question is, how can i define room conditions instead of existing? For example, i would like to set a room as a pharmaceutical laboratory, which needs very special conditions. Could you please tell how can we adjust and dedicate settings of the room?

     

    Thanks in advance,
