Spatial Asset Definition

A Spatial Asset is defined as a specific location with known coordinates and extents. While physical assets represent the "matter" of a project, spatial assets represent the "volumes" or "areas" required for functional use and management.

Defined Boundaries

For most businesses, spatial assets refer to a specific 2D or 3D area, such as a zone, boundary, floor, or individual room.

Operational Categorization

Spatial assets are essential for organizing facility data. They are categorized as functional spaces used for:

• Assignment & Occupancy
• Scheduled Maintenance Management
• Departmental Resource Allocation
• Strategic Business Reporting

BIM Manager Note: In Revit or IFC-based workflows, ensuring that Rooms and Spaces are correctly bounded and named is critical for downstream energy analysis and FM (Facility Management) integration.
