Technical Spaces

In this section all Technical Spaces realted information needed to satisfy the Exchange HVAC Model (Space) will be described.

For HVAC design, technical spaces are spaces that have as their primary purpose the housing of electrical or other technical equipment.
Technical spaces are subject to 'negotiation' between the building designer and technical designers. It is therefore expected that suggestions made by the HVAC designer will be applied in the building model through quantities rather than by making changes to space configuration provided.
Thus, for a space that is a technical space:

Information Needed	Man	Opt	Rec	Actor Supplying	Functional Part
Identify the method of measurement to be used This should be set to a value that is agreed to represent a suggestion made by the technical designer. For instance, a value such as "Technical Space Reconciliation" might be used				HVAC Designer	Assigns to Group (FP)
Assert the name of the area quantity to be suggested. This could be a name like "Technical Space Area".				HVAC Designer	Assigns to Group (FP)
Assert a description for the area quantity to be suggested. A value should be asserted for the description and should take the form indicating that the quantity being described is a suggestion				HVAC Designer	Assigns to Group (FP)
