Question Refrigerant systems and loops

[michaldengusiak]

Hi,

this is a great schema https://brickschema.org/ontology/Nightly/classes/Loop , I have few questions:
Q1 . Is there any Brick for .NET (C#) repo or implementation... similar to Haystack
https://www.project-haystack.org/download ?

Q2. I started to check the scheme against my HVAC Systems from an energy simulation point of view.
Where can I find Refrigerant systems and loops?

Variable Refrigeration Flow or Variable Refrigerant Volume ( one of the manufacturer trading name - The Daikin VRV)

Q3. For your Sensors and Eequipment do you have a place for "DigitalTwin" or rather 'SystemSchamtic' location in form of Location on 2DSchematic as well as Orientation :

SchmaticLocation:
     (X,Y) codrinate 

SchematicDirection:
    LeftRight,
    RightLeft,
    TopBottom,
    BottomTop

Hi there,

A1. We don't have a dedicated language binding because our ontology is written in a standard ontology framework called RDF agnostic to programming languages. C# people seemed to use https://dotnetrdf.org/ for using Brick RDF file.
Our Python package (https://github.com/brickschema/py-brickschema) provides useful tools around RDF ecosystem, but it's not actually a binding yet either. Code generation for static bindings can be something to consider at some point.

A2. Refrigeration is being actively developed here: #590. Feel free to express your opinions or contribute to it. I'd be happy to guide you on how.

A3. 2D schematic has been discussed a few times in the past, but not realized yet. Now we collaborate with REC (https://github.com/RealEstateCore/rec) for spatial concepts, so I'd encourage you to talk to that community for implementation. Many of us are in close communication with REC as well, so we can discuss more there.
