Revision history [back]

The 90_1_2013.osm for eg has SpaceTypes that do not bear the "90.1-2013" prefix. You can open this file in a text editor to convince yourself, and search for "OS:SpaceType". Or, see below for the full list.

The 189.1 SpaceTypes you are seeing are probably coming from the Resources\default\office_default.osm which is by default loaded in OpenStudioApplication unless you remove them. See end of post for list of space types from that file.


Full list of 90.1-2013 spacetypes from the library file:
