Topics in this section
- Wire Length Calculations
The overall length of wiring in a circuit is calculated and displayed as the value for Length in the Properties palette. - Lighting Calculations
- Load Calculations
Revit reports load calculations in various forms. - Current Calculations
When computing current-related parameters on panels, Revit makes certain conservative assumptions that may make the current on unbalanced panel phases slightly larger than expected. - Demand Load Calculations
Revit calculates a demand load once a demand factor for an electrical device/panel is available. - Panel Schedule Example
