Material Catalog - Source Database?

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!

Mine is here:

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

 

Yours it should be in:

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

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

https://www.oekobaudat.de/en/service/downloads.html

 

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

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

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