Internal Mass - Surface Area

Hi, I am using e+ to model building energy use. One of the input parameters of "Internal Mass" is surface area. Since my research is at urban scale, I am dealing with hundreds of buildings so calculating the surface area of internal mass for each zone is very difficult. Does anyone know a simplified procedure to estimate surface area of the internal mass (floor wall, etc.)? Can e+ autocalculate surface area of walls, windows, and floors? I really appreciate your help.
