Space Element

Supported attributes

Attribute	Description
id	This identification attribute based on the space's Name.
ZoneIdRef	This specifies a unique "id" for a zone that references this space.
lightScheduleIdRef	This specifies a unique "id" for the lighting schedule that is referenced in the Building/Space Type Settings for the space type associated with this space.
equipmentScheduleIdRef	This specifies a unique "id" for the power schedule that is referenced in the Building/Space Type Settings for the space type associated with this space.
peopleScheduleIdRef	This specifies a unique "id" for the occupancy schedule that is referenced in the Building/Space Type Settings for the space type associated with this space.
conditionType	This value is collected from the Space: Condition Type parameter in the parameter group Energy Analysis.

Element	Description
Name	This value is composed of the Space:Number parameter and the Space:Name parameter, separated by a space. The Energy Analytical Model space names are now always prefixed with the number in all EAM creation modes, (which was always the case for room/space-based spaces) but now "Building-element" derived spaces are prefixed with the building-level order, and a hyphen ("eg. 2-02 Analytical Space" for default namings), and the same approach is taken when dealing with duplicate names & numbers from rooms, where duplicates are also enumerated with a hyphen to make them different (e.g. "1-1 Room", "1-2 Room"). Unwanted characters are filtered out or replaces with a "_". The following special characters are filtered out: Period("."); Apostrophe("'"); Backslash("\"); Semicolon(";"); DollarSign("$");QuestionMark("!");Comma(",");Ampersand("&");UnitSeparator(" 0x1f");LineFeed("\r");FormFeed("\n");
Area	This value is collected from the Space: Area parameter. This is the area computed at "Wall Finish".
Volume	This value is collected from the Space: Volume parameter. This is the enclosed volume measured by interior bounding surfaces.
CADObjectId	ElementId for the Anlylitical Space element.
ShellGeometry	Geometry data defining the enclosed inner room volumes. See ShellGeometry Element.
SpaceBoundary	Geometry data defining an analytical space volume where each polygon/face has a reference to a Surface. Through the Surface you can connect a source element with each polygon in a space. There will be a number of SpaceBoundary elements per Space. See SpaceBoundary Element.

Additional supported children

Element	Description
PeopleNumber	This value is collected from the Number of people field in the People Loads dialog. This value will have a unit attribute of "NumberOfPeople". If "Values" in the People Loads dialog is set to "Specified", this value is always exported. If "Values" in the People Loads dialog is set to "<Default>", and the "Export gbXML Defaults" under Energy Data in Project Information is checked, this value is exported.
PeopleHeatGain	Revit MEP output three PeopleHeatGain elements with different types. The type is specified in the attribute heatGainType. PeopleHeatGain heatGainType="Latent" This value is collected from Latent Heat Gain per person field in the People Loads dialog. PeopleHeatGain heatGainType="Sensible" This value is collected from Sensible Heat Gain per person field in the People Loads dialog. PeopleHeatGain heatGainType="Total" This value is the sum of Sensible and Latent Heat Gain per person. The heat gain elements will have an attribute specifying what Power unit the value is expressed in. This unit attribute is always WattPerPerson. If "Values" in the People Loads dialog is set to "Specified", these values are always exported. If "Values" in the People Loads dialog is set to "<Default>", and the "Export gbXML Defaults" under Energy Data in Project Information is checked, these values are exported.
LightPowerPerArea	This value is collected from the Lighting Loads specified in the Electrical Loads dialog. The unit attribute will always be WattPerSquareMeter. If "Values" for Lighting in the Electrical Loads dialog is set to "Specified", these values are always exported. If "Values" for Lighting in the Electrical Loads dialog is set to "<Default>", and the "Export gbXML Defaults" under Energy Data in Project Information is checked, these values are exported.
EquipPowerPerArea	This value is collected from the Power Loads specified in the Electrical Loads dialog. The unit attribute will always be WattPerSquareMeter. If "Values" for Power in the Electrical Loads dialog is set to "Specified", these values are always exported. If "Values" for Power in the Electrical Loads dialog is set to "<Default>", and the "Export gbXML Defaults" under Energy Data in Project Information is checked, these values are exported.
AnalysisParameter	Project parameters assigned to Building/Space Type Settings will be exported to gbXML as AnalysisParameters.
