Lift

SPACE-ELEVATOR

Enables the occupied area to be assigned by storey so that area verification can be maintained correctly.

Description

The elevator space object describes the space occupied by the elevator on each storey, not the physical lifting equipment.
Storey-by-storey separation enables correct area classification, e.g. according to SIA 416 or DIN 277.

Modelling guidelines

Model a separate volume with the space tool on each storey; do not create a space object spanning several storeys.
Assign a unique Name on each storey, set LongName = Elevator, and record the area class in Reference (e.g. VF or VF-9).

Attributes

Name	Description	Unit
Name	Unique technical designation of the elevator space object on each storey.
LongName	Fixed use of the space object. Allowed values `Elevator` - storey-by-storey elevator space object
PredefinedType	Marks the object as a space. Allowed values `SPACE` - space Note The also permitted values `INTERNAL` and `EXTERNAL` conflate space type and location and have been deprecated since IFC4.3_ADD2. Therefore, use `SPACE` now and specify interior or exterior status using IsExternal.
InteriorOrExteriorSpace	Marks the elevator space object as an interior space. Allowed values `INTERNAL` - interior space Note Additional IFC2x3 classification; interior status is specified across all versions using IsExternal.
Reference Pset_SpaceCommon	Area class of the elevator space object according to SIA 416 or SIA D0165. Allowed values See the Space reference interior SIA 416 / D0165 value list, e.g. `VF` (SIA 416) or `VF-9` (D0165).
IsExternal Pset_SpaceCommon	Marks the elevator space object as an interior space. Allowed values `FALSE` - interior space
NetFloorArea Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities	Net floor area of the modelled elevator space object.	m²
GrossVolume Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities	Gross volume of the modelled elevator space object.	m³
