I know the question you're trying to get the answer for, but remember that QNE is not the same as the Standard (STD) pressure setting. It's a commonly made mistake.

QNE is in fact displayed in feet (or meters). It's the reading in feet on an altimeter set to 1013.2 millibars (standard pressure) when the aircraft is at aerodrome elevation.
