Building BIOS Architecture

Topology Construction creates the BIOS representation of how building entities are physically, functionally, spatially, and digitally related.

The BIOS shall construct several coordinated topology views:

Physical Connection Topology: which Interfaces and components are physically connected;

Structural Topology: load-transfer and support relationships;

Utility Topology: electrical, water, wastewater, air, thermal, and other service paths;

Communication Topology: networks, gateways, and data routes;

Control Topology: command, supervision, and authority relationships;

Spatial Topology: site, building, level, zone, room, grid, Node, and Cartridge locations;

Dependency Topology: which entities require other entities to operate safely.

Each topology edge shall identify:

source and destination;

relationship type;

direction;

Interface IDs;

state;

capacity or operating limit;

verification method;

The BIOS shall detect:

missing expected connections;

unexpected connections;

loops where prohibited;

disconnected required dependencies;

conflicting control authority;

incorrect utility routing;

orphaned components;

duplicated spatial assignments.

A topology conflict shall prevent activation of affected systems where the physical relationship cannot be safely determined.
