<![CDATA[Engineering Units]]>Hi Matthew,

why not use the SI abbreviation for the engineering units ? i.E m² instead of square meters?

Is degree Kelvin correct? I thought it is simply Kelvin without degree?

Yes, there are cases where this is already done, but (AFAIK) only when the messages are only used in an HTML context. There are cases where messages are used elsewhere (like in email content) where the markup is not resolved.

The "perNewton" has been fixed, thanks. The "degree Kelvin", though, is lifted (like the rest of the eng units) directly from the BACnet spec. It honestly doesn't matter to me which is used. But, still, there is at least an obvious difference of opinion. If others want K, it will be made K.

" the kelvin is not referred to as a "degree", nor is it typeset with a degree symbol; that is, it is written K and not °K"

The EUs were lifted from the BACnet spec. If anyone has a reasonably full list of SI abbreviations, they can be added in.
