Exterior spaces

SPACE-EXT

Usable room volumes located outside the building.

Description

Exterior spaces such as balconies, terraces, and treated surroundings.
Room use is carried in LongName; Name may carry the room number.

Modelling guidelines

Model as a volume outside the building.
Assign balconies and terraces to the matching storey.
Best practice: model exterior spaces only 1 m high to visually distinguish them from interior spaces quickly.

Attributes

Name	Description	Unit
PredefinedType	Marks the space as exterior. Allowed values `EXTERNAL` - exterior space
InteriorOrExteriorSpace	Marks the space as exterior. Allowed values `EXTERNAL` - exterior space Note IFC2x3 substitute for PredefinedType and IsExternal.
LongName	Normalized room use for exterior spaces according to Pragmatic BIM Building Space Name Classification v0.2.0. Source https://schema.pragmaticbim.ch/classification/room-name.html Allowed values See value list Room name exterior space v0.2.0 - RN notation.
Name	Unique technical room number for planning. It should stay stable as long as: the room size does not change substantially (e.g. from 12 m² office to 25 m² open-plan office) the function does not change substantially (e.g. from office to meeting room) and the orientation does not change (e.g. from south to east facing) Do not use for signage - signage room numbers change often and belong in SignageRoomNumber.
SignageRoomNumber ePset_SpaceSignage	Room number for wayfinding signage (labelling, orientation). Separate from the technical planning room number (Name), because signage numbers often change and frequently differ from the planning number.
IsExternal Pset_SpaceCommon	Marks an exterior space. Allowed values `TRUE` - exterior space
Reference Pset_SpaceCommon	Area class of the exterior space according to SIA 416 or SIA D0165. Source SIA 416: https://schema.pragmaticbim.ch/classification/mapping-room-activity-to-sia416.html SIA D0165: https://schema.pragmaticbim.ch/classification/mapping-room-activity-to-d0165.html Allowed values See value list Space reference exterior SIA 416 / D0165 - e.g. `AGF`, `AVF`, `BUF`, `UUF` (SIA 416) or `BUF-10`, `AVF`, `AFF`, `ANF` (D0165).
NetFloorArea Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities	Net floor area of the modelled exterior space.	m²
NetVolume Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities	Net volume of the modelled exterior space.	m³
Height Qto_SpaceBaseQuantities	Height of the modelled exterior space volume.	m
DesignAreaLoad ePset_SpaceUsageAgreement	Agreed design area load for the usage agreement (SIA 260).	kN/m²
DesignPointLoad ePset_SpaceUsageAgreement	Agreed design point load for the usage agreement (SIA 260).	kN
VibrationRequirements ePset_SpaceUsageAgreement	Agreed vibration requirements for the usage agreement (SIA 260) as Vibration Criterion (VC). Allowed values See value list Vibration criterion VC.
