BRICK is an open-source community-driven ontology standard for standardizing semantic descriptions of physical, logical, and virtual assets in buildings and the relationships between them. Using Semantic Web (RDF/OWL) technology, BRICK v1.4.4 enables interoperability across building management systems, reducing the cost of deploying analytics and energy efficiency initiatives. It supports HVAC, lighting, fire, security, and other building subsystems under a unified extensible vocabulary with SHACL-based validation.
