Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to use this CLF MEP calculator tool that is downloadable from the CLF website. Please see screenshot attached - does anybody know what they are asking for as an input?

"Custom quantities input: The user can enter custom quantities on this tab and produce numerical results. For data input fill 'Midpoint of material quantity estimate (calculated) [kg/m2]' "

What is a midpoint of material quantity estimate? I was thinking of adding numbers of units, like numbers of rooftop cooling units, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Thanks,

Simona Fischer

Hello Simona! Sadly I don't know how to use the calculator you're working with. I do however know how to post a reply to get your question moved back to the top of the forum! I did pop open the xcel sheet you're working with and noticed a tab at the bottom that is labeled "custom quantities input" and it has a pretty extensive list of 'Midpoint of material quantity estimate (calculated) [kg/m2]' numbers and their corresponding systems, building size etc. maybe you'll find what you're looking for there? I hope you find your answer soon!
