How to keep an existing building product out of the accounting
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”Document an existing building product in the building model without it contributing to the calculation, e.g. because it’s not part of the project’s system boundary.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”The building product exists in the building model.
- Find the building product in the building model tree.
- Clear the checkbox in the Include column.
Result
Section titled “Result”The building product stays visible in the building model for documentation, but doesn’t contribute to the calculation, neither embodied nor operational.
This is one of four ways to give a building product a zero contribution. Consider whether demolition or a lifespan of 0 describes the situation better, the three methods carry different meaning for the documentation, even though the result (zero contribution) is the same.
