The status can be assigned to as "New" - element designed as new addition, "Existing" - element exists and remains, "Demolish" - element existed but is to be demolished, "Temporary" - element will exists only temporary (like a temporary support structure).

AcousticRating IfcPropertySingleValue IfcLabel

Acoustic rating for this object. It is provided according to the national building code. It indicates the sound transmission resistance of this object by an index ratio (instead of providing full sound absorption values).

FireRating IfcPropertySingleValue IfcLabel

Fire rating for this object. It is given according to the national fire safety classification.

SecurityRating IfcPropertySingleValue IfcLabel

Index based rating system indicating security level. It is giving according to the national building code.

IsExternal IfcPropertySingleValue IfcBoolean

Indication whether the element is designed for use in the exterior (TRUE) or not (FALSE). If (TRUE) it is an external element and faces the outside of the building.

ThermalTransmittance IfcPropertySingleValue IfcThermalTransmittanceMeasure

Thermal transmittance coefficient (U-Value) of an element, within the direction of the thermal flow (including all materials).

GlazingAreaFraction IfcPropertySingleValue IfcPositiveRatioMeasure

Fraction of the glazing area relative to the total area of the filling element. It shall be used, if the glazing area is not given separately for all panels within the filling element.

HasSillExternal IfcPropertySingleValue IfcBoolean

Indication whether the window opening has an external sill (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
