IfcAirTerminalBoxType

Definition from IAI: The element type IfcAirTerminalBoxType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of an element and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define an element specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

An air terminal box type is used to define the common properties of an air terminal box that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. An air terminal box typically participates in an HVAC duct distribution system and is used to control or modulate the amount of air delivered to its downstream ductwork. Air terminal box types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcAirTerminalBoxType are represented by instances of IfcFlowController or its subtypes.
