Object naming is based on the yet to be finalized BS8541-1 Library objects for architecture, engineering and construction – Part 1: Identification and classification – Code of practice' while level names conform to the AEC(UK) standard based on guidance of BS1192. Also included is the classification system provided by CPIC 'UniclassAliases-V1.4‘ - 20th January 2012. Catalog names of spaces follow Uniclass table F and the building types and activity types are taken from the 2010 National Calculation Method (NCM) Activity Database.
