Note the following special cases:

  • For the Great Britain and Germany Inland Flood models, if the floor of interest is not 0, this field represents the replacement value of the floor of interest only and not of the whole building.

  • For the Europe Extratropical Cyclone model, if the country is Norway (8), Sweden (9), or Finland (89), the occupancy code is 375 - Forestry, and you do not provide a building replacement value, Touchstone uses the gross area value in conjunction with the per-hectare forestry unit price values to determine the replacement value.

  • For workers' compensation policies, enter 0.

  • For the U.S. Hurricane Plate Glass Module, enter the total replacement value of all the glass in the building.

The value should correspond to the time indicated in the Replacement Value Days Covered field.

For example, if the per diem business interruption value is $10,000, enter 10,000 in the Replacement Value Time field and 1 in the Replacement Value Days Covered field. Alternatively, enter the yearly business interruption value 3650000 in this field and 365 in the Replacement Value Days Covered field. Both entries will produce identical results.

Touchstone does not support this field for workers' compensation policies, offshore platform policies, and the U.S. Hurricane Plate Glass Module. Therefore, enter 0.
