Ontology Specification Draft

Abstract

The systems ontology is part of the BIM4Ren project. It belongs to the core layer, and is used to describe systems installed in a building and the relation between those. Such systems can be thermal, digital, water circulation...

Introduction back to ToC

This is a place holder text for the introduction. The introduction should briefly describe the ontology, its motivation, state of the art and goals.

The BIM4Ren systems topology ontology: Description back to ToC

This is a placeholder text for the description of your ontology. The description should include an explanation and a diagram explaining how the classes are related, examples of usage, etc.

Cross reference for The BIM4Ren systems topology ontology classes, properties and dataproperties back to ToC

This section provides details for each class and property defined by The BIM4Ren systems topology ontology.

Classes

terminal element c

mediumc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://models.bim4ren.eu/sot#Medium

For a given system, the medium associated is the physical component on which it acts. In particular HVAC systems act on air, water... or other mediums. The medium is to be related to the Function associated to a system.

Systemc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://models.bim4ren.eu/sot#System

An HVAC system. May describe a system for heating, cooling and ventilating a building, (partially, or fully), or a se of buildings. It is made of a) terminal elements that can either produce and emit the property associated (heat, cold, air), b) transport elements that allow the flow, c) and management elements that control the flow.

terminal elementc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://models.bim4ren.eu/sot#TerminalElement

A terminal element's role is to either deliver or consume some material: for instance, a solar panel is an electricy producer, while a lamp is an electricty consumer.
