(http://buildingsmart-tech.org).

AcousticRating Acoustic rating for this object. It is provided

according to the national building code. It indicates
the sound transmission resistance of this object by
an index ratio (instead of providing full sound
absorption values).

BeamRadiationTransmittance Direct solar radiation transmittance that passes the

glazing at normal incidence. It is a value without unit,
often referred to as (Tsol).

FillGas Name of the gas by which the gap between two

glass layers is filled. It is given for information
purposes only.

FireExit Indication whether this object is designed to serve as

an exit in the case of fire (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
Here it defines an exit door in accordance to the
national building code.
