Education Example
The following demonstrates how to build out an Education Client in Architect. This is what the finished tree looks like after each step is created.
Client: The Client in this example is the University of Minnesota, within a Client of this type (Education- Higher) there are many Campuses and Sites.
Campus: Campuses are logical groupings of Sites. In East Bank, there are three Sites: Territorial Hall, Walter's Library, and Lind Hall.
Sites; Sites are representative of physical buildings. Territorial Hall is a residence/dormitory, Walter's Library is a library, and Lind Hall is a laboratory.
Area: Areas separate a building into sub-sections. In this example, Territorial Hall, which has a building type of residence/dormitory has a Dining Hall in the basement.
Equipment: The Equipment listed under Territorial Hall is the individual Equipment used in the building to heat and cool it.
System: Systems are groups of Equipment that work together to serve a purpose. In this instance, there is a Chilled Water System and a Hot Water System in Territorial Hall.
Healthcare Example
The following is an example of one of the many ways a healthcare Client can be broken into in Architect. This is what the finished tree looks like after each step is created.
Client: The client in this example is St. Luke's, within a client of this type (Healthcare) there are many Campuses and Sites.
Campus: Campuses are logical groupings of sites. In the Milwaukee Campus, there are two Sites.
Sites: Sites are representative of physical buildings. Urgent Care is an urgent care/clinic/other and Surgical Center is an ambulatory surgical center.
Area: Areas separate a building into sub-sections. In this example, the surgical center also has a cafeteria in its building.
Equipment: The Equipment listed under Surgical Center is the individual Equipment used in the building to heat and cool it.
System: Systems are groups of Equipment that work together to serve a purpose. The Equipment associated with the hot and cold water system.
Hospitality Example
The following is an example of one of the many ways a hospitality Client can be broken into in Architect. This is what the finished tree looks like after each step is created.
Client: The Client in this example is Hilton, within a Client of this type (Hospitality) there are no Campuses, but many Sites.
Sites: Sites are representative of physical buildings. Hilton-Milwaukee, Hilton-Orlando, Hilton-Times Square are all hotels.
Area: Areas separate a building into sub-sections. In this example, Hilton-Milwaukee also has a conference center.
Equipment: The Equipment listed under Hilton-Milwaukee is the individual Equipment used in the building to heat and cool it.
System: Systems are groups of Equipment that work together to serve a purpose. The Equipment associated with the hot and cold water system.
