I am trying to calculate occupancy for my building (or get Revit to do it for me) and I have an office suite, of mulitple offices and meetings rooms and a corridor. Rather than take occupancy for each individual office, our office standard is to take the area of the whole suite and give it the occupancy for a business area.
I've come up with a few ways of accomplishing this, but can't seem to figure out how to make any of them work:
1. General a "room" of the office suite, and have that added to the schedule. (though that would overlap with other rooms, and I don't think Revit will allow it)
2. Generate an area plan of the office suite, and somehow add that to the same schedule as the rooms (though I can't seem to figure out how to get "areas" and "rooms" to show up on the same schedule)
3. Have the schedule give me a subtotal of select rooms, totaly their area, and find the occupancy of that. I can get a subtotal by Level, or other options, but can't see to get a subtotal of a selection of rows in the schedule. (Not idea, because this would not include wall thickness, but that would make a minimal difference, so if that's the only option, so be it.)
4. Any other suggestions of how to accomplish this!
Thoughts?
