Add a space parameter based on the Chilled beam parameter

Hi,

I'm working on a Revit MEP model and trying to achieve something that I thought would be straightforward, but appears to be more complicated than expected.

I have several chilled beams (mechanical equipment) placed throughout my project, and each of them has a parameter for Cooling Power (in W). My goal is to sum the Cooling Power of all chilled beams within a given room, and then push that total value into a parameter inside the corresponding Space.

So far, I can group chilled beams by Space in a schedule and manually sum the Cooling Power per room – but I was hoping for a more automatic solution.

 

Is there any native workaround (e.g., calculated parameters, schedule tricks, formula hacks) that would let me populate this value into a Space parameter without relying on Dynamo or external tools?

Any insights or ideas are very welcome. Thank you!

Unless it is one of the "Actual ____" parameters (which as far as I know are limited to airflow), you require an external tool/Dynamo to push parameters in such a manner. 

Embedded schedules will give you the ability to total the Cooling Power per room and display it, but it won't be pushed to the Space as a parameter.
