RoomLevel

Roomlevel is a term used across several disciplines to denote the vertical position or structural subdivision of a room within a building or digital model. It is not a fixed standard with a single definition; rather, it appears as a data label, metadata field, or shorthand used in documentation, databases, and software interfaces to indicate which floor or level a room resides on, or how a space is organized within a project.

In architecture, room level typically refers to the floor or storey on which a room is located. It is recorded in floor plans, Building Information Modeling (BIM) models, and construction schedules to coordinate services such as elevators, stairs, HVAC, and egress calculations. Distinctions are often made between floor level and room type, area, or height.

In digital design and game development, room level can describe how a world is partitioned into spaces that behave as separate rooms. The attribute may govern lighting, permissions, or streaming of assets as the player or user moves between rooms. Some engines treat each room as a distinct node or sector with localized data.

Data schemas and codebases may expose RoomLevel, Room_Level, or level as a field in a room object. Its use is pragmatic rather than standardized, and naming conventions vary by software suite. When documenting a project, it is common to specify the floor alongside the room name to avoid ambiguity.
