How do you prepare a level 5 EPC for current AD Part L2A which includes ATRIA? The steady state Part L tool measures the absent intermediate floors and skews the final SBEM/EPC. However I can't seem to run this through SIM. I'm using Ver 26.
Hi Shaun, to simulate the atrium space you would need to draw the rooms as usual, but name them according to your Atrium Keyword (in Simulator > Design Data > Atrium Spaces). For Example if your keyword was ATRIUM, then the rooms should be named ATRIUM/1 and ATRIUM/2. I'm not sure if you have seen our Wiki detailing the various options in this regard - here. Also, the relevant section of the manual explains this in more detail should you need further guidance (e.g. below). If you have any questions please let us know.
