Building Device Naming Standards initiative
We are looking to name and QR code Headend servers for Lighting and BMS systems.
Currently the nearest we can find that would fit this is HMI (Human Machine Interface) however this doesn't seem correct. Is this the correct tag to use or should we use another?
Governance document includes a number of TBAs:
These should be decided and documented in an update.
I'd like to suggest a new abbreviation for a DXC - DX Reversible Coil
There is an abbreviation DXCC for DX cooling coil, but it is quite common for DX coils to be reversible and both heating and/or cooling. I've used these on several projects before, and the application is po
Technically, when heating the coil is "condensing" rather than "DX", but DX seems to be the accepted name for any refrigerant system
A QR code generation tool can facilitate creation of QR codes from a CSV or other structured data source.
During webinar on 18 march, the need for a communication channel people can subscribe to was discussed. An initial idea of using the W3C Community Group's mailing-list is proving problematic, as it would typically involve joining the group, which is a legal hurdle for some.
Are there plans to include guidance for the optional prefix <COUNTRY>-<CITY>-<BUILDING>
? For example should country follow the ISO 3166 codes.
When it comes to city and building it may be harder to recommended a convention as these become more region / organisation specific.
Feel free to close if this is outside of the scope of this project.
It would be useful to have an abbreviation for a Device Gateway.
The Device Gateway acts on behalf of the device(s) when communicating with a server. The device IDs of the child devices are still used and the Device Gateway is only there to facilitate communication and authentication.
There is a lighting - lighting gateway | LTGW
already so would GW
be good for a Device Gateway or something more specific?
test
Specific asset abbreviation - the list is too specific for some appliances and not inclusive for others. We have a global specification list we work with. It makes sense for us at least if we can group appliances by 'Type of Equipment' (column A) in order we can capture more products.
We propose the following
ANC | Ancillary
BEV | Beverage
COOK | Cooking
DISH | Dish Room
EQPT | Equipment
MISC | Miscellaneous
MOBL | Mobile Equipment
REFG | Refrigeration
SERV | Serving
STSL | Stainless Steel
VENT | Ventilation
WASTE | Waste Management
Congrats putting together the first draft specification for the syntax. It is a clear and useful document, especially so for a first iteration.
If feedback from the industry on shape and scope of the draft is positive, I would suggest iterating on the document following guidance from a few resources created to ensure that the specification should be as easy as possible to implement consistently, therefore maximising the impact of the specification on interoperability.
The W3C Specifications guidelines may be a good starting point. It is a fairly comprehensive document with many recommendations, but the first I would suggest to focus first on the language and presentation of compliance:
@DrOzakEsu commented in #4 about adding a multisensor abbreviation.
I've suggested to use MTS as the abbreviation for this. Any thoughts or comments?
A GUID for each abbreviation could facilitate revision control.
Is this practical and useful?
It would be good to add a simple front matter paragraph to the documents. The governance doc suggests marking them as "Editors' draft" given the current phase of work.
An automatic pipeline for checking that abbreviations are not repeated.
The naming syntax makes mention of some attributes being mandatory (or _ as a minimum_) and others as optional.
Is there a way we can just simplify the below to something like 2 Gang and 1 gang Socket Outlet as ours are 13A here in the UK
And for floor box outlets if they contain data and power would this be covered under the floorbox Abbreviation?
| outlet - double 20A duplex receptacle | DDR | IfcOutlet | POWEROUTLET
| outlet - duplex outlets | DXO | IfcOutlet | POWEROUTLET
Suggest as SLS (Sound Level Sensor) within the ifc_class IfcSensor. It may be less common than other sensors but I could not find any alternative name in the existing list
sensor - sound level sensor,SLS,IfcSensor,SOUNDLEVELSENSOR
For buildings with Heat Interface Units HIU's between the landlord and tenant system mechanical systems what would we describe these as? These consist of a plate heat exchanger pump and valve.
Is it possible to introduce an "HIU" tag to describe these or give guidance as to what they should be named?
I cannot see a suitable mapping in the current published nametags list.
Room, floor, etc.
Hi All,
Have you considered standards for naming virtual points in addition to physical devices and I/O?
Could be valuable to provide guidelines for elements like:
Cheers,

Suggested MCS
The syntax for device.name
(and equivalent) specifies the use of alphabetic characters only, which may be appropriate but could also be biased towards a western approach, and cause us headaches down the line if this gets adopted in geographies typically using other writing systems (Arabic, Cyrillic, CJVK etc)
If we constrain to alphabetical now, allowing a broader character set later would probably break parsers.
Could we gather evidence of practice internationally, and understand whether the alphabetical constraint is reasonable, or whether there may be other sets of characters (from within Unicode) which may also be allowed.
Hi,
While I can see a POE switch, and also a standard Ethernet switch in the list (POEETS and ETS) - what would be the recommended asset names for the below ICT devices?:
Thanks in advance,
John
We will need an abbreviation for this Intelligent Switch Monitor Unit for the fire alarm systems. Could we please provide an update.
20004900_0001.pdf
Blah blah
Should we split the two main documents into their separate projects? This would allow for more accurate tagging of the issues.
Can we add an abbreviation for
Air Source Heat Pump - ASHP
Water Source Heat Pump: WSHP
Can speed gates be added to the abbreviations register?
SPDG would be our proposal.
Bin level sensor - proposed BINS-
Leak sensor - proposed LEAKS-
Movement sensor (accelerometer based) - proposed MOVES-
Door contact sensor - proposed CONTS-
Hi everyone,
Could the following equipment be added please?
Device | Proposed Abbreviation | Comment |
---|---|---|
ITC Equipment - Wireless LAN Controller | WLC | Not technically Wi-Fi router |
ITC Equipment - Multi-purpose server | SRV | Multi-purpose server, Hypervisor, etc. Hosting DNS, NTP, NMS, etc |
ITC Equipment - Network Monitoring System | NMS | Physical or virtual appliance for monitoring of ITC estate |
ITC Equipment - Network Access Manager | NAM or AAA | Physical or virtual appliance such as Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, etc. |
ITC Equipment - UPS Management System | UPSM | Physical or virtual appliance for monitoring and managing UPS devices e.g. APC PowerChute or equivalent |
Many thanks
Can we add the following proposals to the BDNS
AMP Amplifier
AVCP audiovisual control panel
AVCAM AV camera
AVWAP AV Wireless Access point
DSP Digital Sound Processor
DA Distribution Amplifier
PRO Projector
TPD Touch panel display
TX Transmitter
VC Video Conference
WP Wireless Presentation
Have these devices I need abbreviations for
Water vending machine (VEND?)
Coffee Machines (VEND?)
White Noise Generator (WNG?)
Timeclock for clocking in (TMCLK?)
The name syntax document is missing the image of the QR code
Convert the asset_type column in the CSV file to lowercase
Hi, we have some IoT sensors that need new abbreviations - would the below be ok?
It would be more useful to scope the names with a naming authority rather than location ie :
arup.com:ACU_001
rather than
UK-LON-8FS_ACU_001
The first is an an established methodology from urn/url naming and existing domains provide a ready way to implement this without additional discussion about naming conventions. Both approaches provide way to qualify the scope globally but using a location definition limits the activity of creating names to a single person/organisation/authority. It is much more useful and flexible to use authorities for scoping names as multiple actors can name objects that can then co-exist without risk of collisions. Location data is better provided by tag/metadata.
Is this still correct? Components that are part of a devices are not considered to be standalone devices?

Allow for company name to be included within optional prefix for multi-tenancy buildings, so that there is no name clash to naming originating from different organisations.
Can we add an entry for an electric battery. BAT
seems to be commonly used.
Suggestion: STP
Automatic heat and smoke vents are available commercially in two general categories. Concerning the scope of this effort, the mechanically opened vent, powered by springs, pneumatic actuator, or electric motors are of interest. The open/close state data point needs to attributed.
Should there be an abbreviation for automatic vents?
Note: we are aware of regional variations ie smoke extractor in Berlin.
Hello, I need new asset name abbreviations please. Here they are:
Grease traps, maybe GTP
Oil Water separator, maybe OWS
washer/dryer laundry appliance machines: we have 3 different types: standalone washers (WSH), standalone dryers (DRY), combo washer/dryer (WDS) that will need to be entered.
Please let me know if the asset abbreviations mentioned here will suffice. Thanks.
