For the EvaluateEPDByArea method, Panels with openings can result in errant results due to area being calculated per IElement2D.Area, but material epds being based off the epds from the MaterialComposition, which can include Area based EPD's from the openings. This leads to the calculation using the panel area for calculating area based values for the panel as well as its openings that have area based epds applied.
Steps to reproduce:
Run EvaluateEPD method on a Panel, such as a Facade.Panel, that has an opening with a construction.
Expected behaviour:
Area EPD values applied to the respective areas of their corresponding elements.
