Automatically calculate light & air requirements?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:20:19 GMT

The CBC (IBC) has requirements for light and air that are a percentage of the room area. Im wondering if there is a way to have the software automatically do your calculations. So if I have a zone for each room, it would list the light (8%) and air (4%) requirements. And then, ideally calculate the percentage that is provided by windows and doors.

I always manually calculate this, but it sure would be nice if I could set AC up to do this. I didn't find any posts on it.

Using AC13

I don't believe you can. Archicad doesn't let you do calcs within the schedules.

You can export schedules to a spreadsheet where this can be set up.

I hope this changes.
