• SpaceHeater. Space heaters utilize a combination of radiation and/or natural convection using a heating source such as electricity, steam or hot water to heat a limited space or area. Examples of space heaters include radiators, convectors, baseboard and finned-tube heaters. UnitaryEquipment should be used for packaged units supporting a combination of heating, cooling, and/or dehumidification; Coil should be used for coil-based floor heating.

• SwitchingDevice. A switch is used in a cable distribution system (electrical circuit) to control or modulate the flow of electricity. Switches include those used for electrical power, communications, audio-visual, or other distribution system types as determined by the available ports.

• Tank. A tank is a vessel or container in which a fluid or gas is stored for later use.

• Transformer. A transformer is an inductive stationary device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another. Transformer is used to transform electric power; conversion of electric signals for other purposes is handled at other entities: Controller converts arbitrary signals, AudioVisualAppliance converts signals for audio or video streams, and CommunicationsAppliance converts signals for data or other communications usage.

• TransportElement. A transport element is a generalization of all transport related objects that move people, animals or goods within a building or building complex. The TransportElement defines the occurrence of a transport element.

• TubeBundle. A tube bundle is a device consisting of tubes and bundles of tubes used for heat transfer and contained typically within other energy conversion devices, such as a chiller or coil.

• UnitaryControlElement. A unitary control element combines a number of control components into a single product, such as a thermostat or humidistat. A unitary control element provides a housing for an aggregation of control or electrical distribution elements that, in combination, perform a singular (unitary) purpose. Each item in the aggregation may have its own geometric representation and location.

• Valve. A valve is used in a building services piping distribution system to control or modulate the flow of the fluid.

• VibrationIsolator. A vibration isolator is a device used to minimize the effects of vibration transmissibility in a building.

• ProtectiveDevice. A protective device breaks an electrical circuit when a stated electric current that passes through it is exceeded. A protective device provides protection against electrical current only (not as a general protective device). It may be used to represent the complete set of elements including both the tripping unit and the breaking unit that provide the protection. This may be particularly useful at earlier stages of design where the approach to breaking the electrical supply may be determined but the method of tripping may not. Alternatively, this entity may be used to specifically represent the breaking unit alone (in which case the tripping unit will also be specifically identified). This entity is specific to dedicated protective devices and excludes electrical outlets that may have circuit protection.

• ProtectiveDeviceTrippingUnit. A protective device tripping unit breaks an electrical circuit at a separate breaking unit when a stated electric current that passes through the unit is exceeded.

• Pump. A pump is a device that imparts mechanical work on fluids or slurries to move them through a channel or pipeline. A typical use of a pump is to circulate chilled water or heat hot water in a building services distribution system.

• SanitaryTerminal. A sanitary terminal is a fixed appliance or terminal usually supplied with water and used for drinking, cleaning or foul water disposal or that is an item of equipment directly used with such an appliance or terminal.

• ShadingDevice. Shading devices are purpose-built devices to protect from the sunlight, from natural light, or to screen them from view. Shading devices can form part of the facade or can be mounted inside the building, they can be fixed or operable.

• SolarDevice. A solar device converts solar radiation into other energy such as electric current or thermal energy.

Outlet. An outlet is a device installed at a point to receive one or more inserted plugs for electrical power or communications. Power outlets are commonly connected within a junction box; data outlets may be directly connected to a wall. For power outlets sharing the same circuit within a junction box, the ports should indicate the logical wiring relationship to the enclosing junction box, even though they may be physically connected to a cable going to another outlet, switch, or fixture.

• FlowInstrument. A flow instrument reads and displays the value of a particular property of a system at a point, or displays the difference in the value of a property between two points. Instrumentation is typically for the purpose of determining the value of the property at a point in time. It is not the purpose of an instrument to record or integrate the values over time (although they may be connected to recording devices that do perform such a function). This entity provides for all forms of mechanical flow instrument (thermometers, pressure gauges etc.) and electrical flow instruments (ammeters, voltmeters etc.)

• FlowMeter. A flow meter is a device that is used to measure the flow rate in a system.

• HeatExchanger. A heat exchanger is a device used to provide heat transfer between non-mixing media such as plate and shell and tube heat exchangers. HeatExchanger is commonly used on water-side distribution systems to recover energy from a liquid to another liquid (typically water-based), whereas AirToAirHeatRecovery is commonly used on air-side distribution systems to recover energy from a gas to a gas (usually air).

• Humidifier. A humidifier is a device that adds moisture into the air.

• Interceptor. An interceptor is a device designed and installed in order to separate and retain deleterious, hazardous or undesirable matter while permitting normal sewage or liquids to discharge into a collection system by gravity.

• Lamp. A lamp is an artificial light source such as a light bulb or tube.

• MedicalDevice. A medical device is attached to a medical piping system and operates upon medical gases to perform a specific function. Medical gases include medical air, medical vacuum, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide.

• EvaporativeCooler. An evaporative cooler is a device that cools air by saturating it with water vapor.

• Evaporator. An evaporator is a device in which a liquid refrigerent is vaporized and absorbs heat from the surrounding fluid.

• Fan. A fan is a device which imparts mechanical work on a gas. A typical usage of a fan is to induce airflow in a building services air distribution system.

• Filter. A filter is an apparatus used to remove particulate or gaseous matter from fluids and gases.

• FireSuppressionTerminal. A fire suppression terminal has the purpose of delivering a fluid (gas or liquid) that will suppress a fire. A fire suppression terminal provides for all forms of sprinkler, spreader and other form of terminal that is connected to a pipework system and intended to act in the role of suppressing a fire.

The data model for AnprFlowObserved (Automatic number-plate recognition) is available for the transportation subject.

AnprFlowObserved. The data model represents an observation linked to the passing of a vehicle at a certain location and at a given time. This Data Model is based on the ItemFlowObserved, extended with ANPR-specific properties, and links to the observation images.
