4. Implementation in IFC Standard Case (IFC semantics) – Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

In a similar way to what was presented in the previous chapter on lighting management, the IFC standard contains an "HVAC domain" (Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning, HVAC) that defines specific object models for describing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

In particular, this domain contains :

  • damper (IfcDamper),

  • flowmeter (IfcFlowMeter),

  • valve (IfcValve) ;
