Building BIOS Architecture

41. Building Manifest

The Building Manifest is the authoritative top-level declaration of the identity, intended composition, approved configuration, and governing engineering context of a System05 building.

The Manifest shall provide the entry point through which the Building BIOS determines what the building is expected to contain and how its configuration records are organized.

The Building Manifest shall include:

unique Building ID;

building name or designation;

site identity;

geographic location;

jurisdiction;

building type and occupancy classification;

project identity;

design and commissioning authorities;

current lifecycle stage;

current configuration version;

applicable System05 constitutional documents;

applicable Engineering Profiles;

applicable regulatory references;

references to all BIOS registries;

topology version;

configuration-baseline reference;

certification and commissioning status;

emergency-information reference;

authorized BIOS implementations;

digital-signature and approval records.

The Manifest shall distinguish among:

required building systems;

installed optional systems;

planned future systems;

temporarily unavailable systems;

removed systems;

legacy systems;

experimental systems.

The Manifest shall not contain every detailed component record directly. It shall identify and bind together the registries, Profiles, topology models, configuration baselines, and evidence packages forming the complete authoritative configuration.

A proposed Manifest may represent an As-Designed configuration. It shall not be promoted to As-Installed or As-Commissioned status without the required physical verification and commissioning evidence.

Every accepted Manifest shall be immutable as a historical version. Changes shall produce a new signed version linked to the preceding version.

The Building ID shall remain stable through:

ownership transfer;

BIOS hardware replacement;

software migration;

renovation;

building expansion;

temporary shutdown;

replacement of major systems.

Subdivision, physical relocation, combination with another building, or complete reconstruction may require a formal identity-governance decision.
