This is a new one for me. In wizard mode no matter what I do to change the
floor area in the model (alter # floors, X and Y lengths, etc.), the LS-C
report is stuck on 120,000 sf.
Has anyone seen this before?
Energy-Models.com Instruction and Discussion for Energy Modelers, Building Simulators, Architects and Engineers
Energy-Models.com is a site for energy modelers, building simulators, architects, and engineers who want learn the basics, to advanced concepts of energy modeling. We've got online training courses and tutorials for eQUEST, Trane TRACE 700, OpenStudio, and LEED for energy modeling. All our energy modeling courses are video based. What better way to learn energy modeling software than screen-casts of exactly how things are done?

The model was able to re-simulate successfully after the changes? Otherwise did you have the *.sim file open in another editor so that it didn't update after the simulation? Maybe close everything, re-open the file with changes and simulate again.

Christian,
The area entered in the wizard is used to calculate dimensions of the pre-defined shapes. If you changed any of those dimensions (X and Y lengths) or traced a custom outline in Screen 2, then that overrides the overall area entered on Screen 1.
