It is a work around, but this is how I do it. It might seem complicated at first but once you figured it out it is a piece of cake.
In short what I do is I use SPACE command to create regions out of the rooms where you have a view to outside, and a SPACE SCHEDULE to automatically generate the IEQ8.2 Table. You can create it from scratch but you can save time by taking those from the file I have attached.
1. Open your revit file and this file I have attached to you (IEQ 8.2 Sample.rvt)
Lets assume the plan below is your project
2. From my revit file (IEQ 8.2 Sample.rvt) open the sheet view and copy the table similar to the one you see below and paste it on a sheet created in your file.
In this way you can take my schedule and will be ready for you to use.
3. The other thing I like you to take is a color scheme I made. (You can customise it or create your own) Here is the step how
Go to Manage>Transfer Project Standards > Make sure it is from IEQ 8.2 Sample(1) > Check none (2) > Thick Color Scheme (3) > ok(4) > New Only
4. Apply the color legend into your plan view
Go to Annotate > Color Fill Legend > Click on your Plan>Select 'Spaces' for Space Type and 'LEED IEQ 8.2' for the color Scheme>OK
You have everything ready now you can do the actual work
5. Go to Analyze >Space>Click on the Regularly Occupied Regions
6. Select The space one by one and fill these two important data on the properties tab or on the schedule
a. Make sure the number is similar to room number that's very important
b.check View-No View thick box if you have a direct line of sight and uncheck it if it has no direct line of sight that's when the color scheme starts to work. You see yellow for view and dark gray for no view
7. Use space separator to draw direct line of sight
When you create an IEQ8.2 plan view (left of the last image) you will automatically have the table for it. You can export this table to excel if you want or you can print a pdf from your sheet view.
You may need to split to discontinue the line where you dont want it to separate (as in Office A on the plan)
I am proud because
-The compliant area changes according to the percentage of the yellow area and based on your input at column 'E' on the table(View / no View)
-You can modify from the plan, from the schedule or from the properties tab anytime and you will get an autoimatic update
Draw Backs.
You should calculate the final calculation by yourself or by exporting it to excel
it doesn't detect when it is classroom or meeting area where you always take the actual yellow area regardless of the percentage
Please Kudos if it helps and I like your comments
