Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-41 · 5 content blocks
A Building is an organized built system intended to create usable, protected, or controlled space for human, operational, industrial, agricultural, storage, infrastructure, or other approved purposes.
Within System05, a Building may include structural, enclosure, utility, safety, sensing, control, communication, digital, operational, and lifecycle systems. The boundary between the physical Building and its associated digital assets shall be explicitly maintained even when they operate as an integrated cyber-physical system.
A Built Asset is a constructed or installed physical asset managed for continuing functional, social, economic, cultural, or infrastructure value. Buildings, bridges, utility structures, transportation facilities, and permanent site systems may be Built Assets.
The Built Environment is the collective human-made physical setting in which people, organizations, infrastructure, buildings, public spaces, utilities, transportation systems, digital services, and environmental systems interact.
A Building is generally a Built Asset, but not every Built Asset is a Building. The Built Environment is broader than either and includes the relationships and shared systems connecting multiple Built Assets.
