Typically it is suggested to use the same names as the BMS to avoid confusion with the site team. There are exceptions for this, as outlined below.
Common Equipment
Prefix “Common “ to each equipment. One will typically be required for each metadata type for the thermal plant. They will also typically be used per floor to cover common points across the AHU or VAV such as after hours requests
e.g.
Common CHWS
Common CHWP
Common SCHWS
Common SCHWP
Common HHWS
Common HHWP
Common SHHWS
Common SHHWP
Common AHU
Common VAV
Common Level 01 AHU
Common Level 01 VAV
VSDs
Concatenate "-VSD" at the end for the parent equipment
Commission VSD points on VSD. Eg we have a Supply Air Fan Frequency meta on AHU, commission it on VSD as operating frequency if its coming from VSD.
e.g.
CDWP-1-VSD
CT-2-VSD
HHWP-1-VSD
HLI (Primarily Chillers)
Concatenate "-HLI" at the end for the parent equipment
Create HLI as a zone and assign HLI as a zone to all favourites for HLI equipment (instead of plantroom). Easier to identify HLI point specially when HLI equipment is shared with parent equipment.
Commission all HLI point on chiller on the HLI equipment. No need to create another equipment called CH-1-VSD to commission frequency, power etc.
e.g.
CH-1-HLI
Meters
Concatenate "XX-" at the start of the parent equipment
"PSM-" - Power Sub Meter e.g. PSM-Lift-1
"GM-" - Gas Sub Meter
"WM-" - Water Sub Meter
"TEM-" - Thermal Energy Meter
