Predictive defaults understate loss through elevators and stairwells in a multi-story municipal building. What should the designer do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Elevator shafts and stairwells are RF sinkholes the default wall catalog often soft-pedals. Mark them as real attenuators in the model so the heat map stops lying. Max power everywhere is a blunt substitute for honest modeling.
Full Explanation
Designers should explicitly model atypical attenuators such as elevator cores and stairwells when predictive defaults omit them. Removing vertical structures from plans or assuming no inter-floor propagation produces false confidence. Power maxing without modeling creates CCI without fixing prediction accuracy.
