Energy conversion system is a system producing the energy necessary to satisfy the end-use (or to feed the networks) from an energy source.
bldg:_AbstractBuilding
Energy demand is the useful energy required to satisfy a specific end-use, such as heating, cooling, domestic hot water etc.
Energy distribution system is a system in charge of delivering the energy inside the building, from the place of energy production to the place of end-use. It consists then in the storage (including battery/tank and pipe volumes), the circulation pumps, the distribution pipes and the end use units (radiators, fan coils etc.).
Energy performance certification.
Energy being consumed by an energy conversion system. It can be non-renewable (fuel) or renewable. It may be produced by another energy conversion system.The Energy produced by a conversion system and fed-in in the electrical grid or district network is also considered as EnergySource, since it also aims to be consumed by an energy conversion system, in another building (building block)
Facilities and Appliances inside the usage zone or building unit, which consumes and dissipate energy.

This is an X3D element to map a texture to this material. From X3D specification: The ImageTexture node defines a texture map by specifying an image file and general parameters for mapping to geometry. Texture maps are defined in a 2D coordinate system (s, t) that ranges from [0.0, 1.0] in both directions. The bottom edge of the image corresponds to the S-axis of the texture map, and left edge of the image corresponds to the T-axis of the texture map. The lower-left pixel of the image corresponds to s=0, t=0, and the top-right pixel of the image corresponds to s=1, t=1. <!--When fixed: add type="x3d:ImageTexture"-->

Irregular time series is the opposite of a regular time series. The data in the time series follows a temporal sequence, but the measurements might not happen at a regular time interval.
