BRICK Entity Property Support

Entity Properties Fully Supported

DCH fully supports the use of all BRICK 1.2.1 entity properties.

Supported BRICK 1.2.1 entity properties:

'brick:aggregate' 'brick:area' 'brick:grossArea' 'brick:netArea' 'brick:panelArea' 'brick:azimuth' 'brick:buildingPrimaryFunction' 'brick:conversionEfficiency' 'brick:measuredModuleConversionEfficiency' 'brick:ratedModuleConversionEfficiency' 'brick:coolingCapacity' 'brick:coordinates' 'brick:currentFlowType' 'brick:electricalPhaseCount' 'brick:electricalPhases' 'brick:measuredPowerOutput' 'brick:operationalStage' 'brick:operationalStageCount' 'brick:powerComplexity' 'brick:powerFlow' 'brick:ratedPowerOutput' 'brick:temperatureCoefficientofPmax' 'brick:thermalTransmittance' 'brick:buildingThermalTransmittance' 'brick:tilt' 'brick:volume' 'brick:yearBuilt'

Note version 1.2.1 of the BRICK ontology has several issues with the declarations of the above set of entity properties and their related SHACL shapes. Usually missing labels and quantity kinds, but a few more significant issues such as lack of declaration for some things. See the DCH BRICK Patch repository for details.

In addition to these entity properties, DCH also supports several platform specific 'extension' entity properties. Also see the DCH BRICK Patch repository for details.

Examples of entity property usage and DCH extension properties coming soon.
