DCH BRICK Modelling Norms

Purpose of DCH Norms

Models using the brick ontology can be built in many logical ways, however without adding some extra constraints or rules around how some building systems should be modelled it is impossible for generic applications to always discover the correct information. For this reason DCH has introduced a series of Norms that modellers must follow to ensure models can be used effectively.
