Interface & Cartridge Architecture

A Functional Cartridge performs a defined building or occupant function while connecting to the System05 platform through standardized interfaces.

Examples include:

kitchen service panels;

bathroom service panels;

ventilation units;

lighting modules;

storage systems;

façade modules;

acoustic-control modules;

environmental treatment units;

access-control equipment;

communication modules;

specialized room-service panels.

A Functional Cartridge may combine physical structure, utilities, equipment, controls, finishes, and digital services within a replaceable assembly.

The Cartridge shall declare:

the primary function;

required host support;

required utilities;

physical service area;

human-access conditions;

output capacity;

environmental requirements;

noise, vibration, and heat generation;

maintenance access;

consumables;

expected service life;

failure behavior.

Functional Cartridges shall be replaceable without unnecessary alteration of the surrounding building where that replaceability forms part of their declared value.

Where a Functional Cartridge connects to several utility domains, each connection shall remain separately isolatable or shall follow a coordinated safe-disconnection sequence.

A kitchen Cartridge, for example, might require:

structural support;

potable hot and cold water;

wastewater connection;

electrical power;

lighting power;

data;

ventilation;

leak detection;

fire protection;

human access;
