Material Catalog - Source Database?

[Florian99]

hi,

Building Materials > Load from Catalog > Material Catalog....

Is it somewhere documented where that data comes from?

No details on help:

What is CONCRETE 1, 2, 3, 4 or GYPSUM 1, 2, 3, 4.?

Any more descriptive info would help a lot!

Thanks for any info/ hint

Mine is here:

Macintosh HD / Applications / GRAPHISOFT / ARCHICAD 25 / Add-Ons / EnergyEvaluation / USA / MaterialCatalog.xml

Yours it should be in:

Program Files (x86?) / GRAPHISOFT / ....

Check there

Hi Lucian,

thanks a lot, that could help also for importing data!

But I was aiming to get to know where the data itself came from.

Like:

or

I think the more transparently the references are documented as to where the values come from, the more reliability can be created.

BR, Florian

Got it. Then, imagine me shrugging... 🙂

I am thinking that they have a collaboration with the Hungarian Standards Board...

Florian99, hey I am looking for the same answer.  All of the values that I can find are different than the catalogue's values.  Was there any clarification to this question?
