ElevationReferenceValue (Enumeration)

*Code*	*Text*
bottomOfConstruction	bottomOfConstruction	The elevation has been captured at the bottom of the usable part of the construction. NOTE: The bottom of usable part of a building is generally its lowest underground floor.
entrancePoint	entrancePoint	The elevation has been captured at the entrance of the construction, generally the bottom of entrance door.
generalEave	generalEave	The elevation has been captured at eave level, anywhere between the lowest and the highest eave levels of the construction. NOTE: in case of a roof having a symmetry axis, values generalEave, lowestEave and highestEave are equivalent.
generalRoof	generalRoof	The elevation has been captured at roof level, anywhere between the lowest edge roof level and the top of the construction.
generalRoofEdge	generalRoofEdge	The elevation has been captured at roof edge level, anywhere between the lowest and the highest roof edges of the construction. NOTE: in case of a roof having a symmetry axis, values generalRoofEdge, lowestRoofEdge and highestRoofEdge are equivalent.
highestEave	highestEave	The elevation has been captured at the highest eave level of the construction.
highestPoint	highestPoint	The elevation has been captured at the highest point of the construction, including the installations, such as chimneys and antennas.
highestRoofEdge	highestRoofEdge	The elevation has been captured at the highest roof edge level of the construction.
lowestEave	lowestEave	The elevation has been captured at the lowest eave level of the construction.
lowestFloorAboveGround	lowestFloorAboveGround	The elevation has been captured at the level of the lowest floor above ground. This value is of interest for over-hanging buildings or for buildings on pylons.
lowestRoofEdge	lowestRoofEdge	The elevation has been captured at the lowest roof edge level of the construction.
topOfConstruction	topOfConstruction	The elevation has been captured at the top level of the construction. NOTE: for buildings, it is generally top of the roof.
topThermalBoundary	topThermalBoundary	The elevation has been captured at the top of the highest Thermal Boundary.
bottomThermalBoundary	bottomThermalBoundary	The elevation has been captured at the bottom of the lowest Thermal Boundary.
