  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.

      The BRICK ontology v1.4.4 defines a standardized vocabulary of building
      system concepts, relationships, and data model for smart building analytics.
      Available as RDF/OWL files, BRICK describes sensors, equipment, locations,
      and control points in HVAC, lighting, fire safety, and security systems.
      Includes SHACL shapes for ontology validation and Python tooling via
      the brickschema Python package.
