Description
If I export a Revit MEP model to Ifc the exporter(or revit) doesn't use the correct units for the flow parameter. It has to be L/s but in Ifc it becomes ft3/s. This is not correct, this unit isn't even available in Revit (by choosing by the project units).
I tested with base quantities and by a custom pset, both won't let me export the correct units. I also tested it with the unit volumetricFlowRate, also this values is in Ifc in ft/3.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported Revit 2020 export using a model with a flow parameter, then inspect the generated IFC units for base quantities, a custom property set, and volumetricFlowRate. Done means the exported flow value uses L/s rather than ft3/s in each tested representation.
