ASHRAE 232-2024

ANSI/ASHRAE/IBPSA Standard 232 defines the structures, conventions, and formats for data models based on schemas such as XML or JSON. The standard is designed to be schema format agnostic and describes the content in a generic fashion.

The first part of the standard describes how to structure and format the data model. The next part describes how to document the data model in a human-readable format. Data groups that are common to all Standard 232 compliant data models, and data groups that are generic and universal for use in other data models, are described. Finally, informative naming guidelines and examples are included.

This standard is not intended for semantic schemas.
