Total calculated programmed Gross area: Calculated from the sum of the product of the sum of all gross area from rooms in the groups and the group gross/net factors, eg. for a group type "Building" with a building "Building 001" and "Building 002", the total area is (the sum of gross area of all the rooms in Building 001 x gross/net for Building 001) + (sum of gross area of all the rooms in building 001 x gross/net for Building 002)
Sum <group type> Designed Gross Area: Sum of all the group designed areas of the group type, eg. for a group type "Building", the sum of all designed areas of the buildings.
