Technical documentation / Schematics

Building Information Models Control point naming shall be aligned to Digital Building Ontology.
For example: Physical labels
- building_air_static_pressure_sensor
- return_air_damper_command Note: The name can also be used in IP hostname.
- supply_air_damper_percentage_command_1 Refer BOS Naming and Labeling standard for more
- supply_air_damper_percentage_command_2 details.
