I found a some new features in Revit MEP 2011 that is very useful for dealing with Plenum Spaces. First, you can set a type property of a level to tell the use of the level is for plenum space. This helps by creating a specific views for plenums, and all spaces added in these views will be assigned as plenums (instances property). Second item is the new instance property in spaces that assign it has a plenum space. This new property will allow for better calculation
Why are these plenum spaces relevant? Without plenum spaces the energy model for Heating Cooling Loads will be in accurate. Also you find that your gbXML exports not to work very well.
