IfcDistributionChamberElement

Definition from IAI: The IfcDistributionChamberElement defines a place at which distribution systems and their constituent elements may be inspected or through which they may travel.

An IfcDistributionChamberElement is a formed volume used in a distribution system, such as a sump, trench or manhole. Instances of IfcSystem or IfcDistributionFlowElement may be related to the IfcDistributionChamberElement enabling their location in or at the chamber to be determined.
