4.1.5.11.1 Space Boundaries 1st Level
Spaces may have boundaries defined by building elements such as walls, slabs, doors, and windows. Such information may be used to determine heat transmission through surrounding materials.
The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept.
In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
