Hierarchies are used to provide a point of view on complex systems such as buildings. For example, either we want to browse all the assets from a spatial point of view: list all the floors, for each floor its spaces, for each space its equipment... Or we want to discover the assets from an hydraulic point of view starting from
Hierarchies list
| Related Hierarchy | Description | Associated relations | Associated tags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Diffusion Distribution | Describes the air flow from Air Handling Unit feeding terminal units and/or spaces | airFeeds | airFeedsIds |
| Air Extraction Distribution | Describes the air extraction from spaces, using terminal units or global extraction | airExtracts | airExtractsIds |
| Cooling Distribution | Describes the cooling flow between assets from the cooling production/exchanger through the distribution and finally to the terminal units | coolFeeds | coolFeedsIds |
| Heating Distribution | Describes the heating flow between assets from the heating production/exchanger through the distribution and finally to the terminal units | heatFeeds | heatFeedsIds |
| Electrical Distribution | Describes the electrical flow from a LVS through the power distribution panels to terminal equipment | elecFeeds | elecFeedsIds |
| Water Distribution | Describes water flows between water circuits and terminal equipment | waterFeeds | waterFeedsIds |
| Data Distribution | Describes the data flow from the BOS server through the acquisition servers, to the gateways and controllers. | dataFeeds and all associated XXXDataFeeds | dataFeedsIds & XXXDataFeedsIds |
| Electrical Metering Distribution & Water Metering Distribution | Describes the submetering tree | isSubMeterOf | isSubmeterOfIds |
| Structure Assets | The most common used. It describes the breakdown of a building into floors, into spaces and their associated equipment and data points | isIn | subModelAssetsIds |
| Subsystem Assets | Breakdown of all equipment sorted by subsystem and types of equipment | isIn |
Use of API
The API allows a third party to discover all available hierarchies. Note that some hierarchies listed above may not be available depending on the level of integration.
