tilatietoa

Tilatietoa refers to data describing physical spaces and the attributes of those spaces, used in facilities management, urban planning, and spatial analysis. It encompasses information about where a space is, what it is used for, and how it is equipped and maintained.

Core components of tilatietoa typically include location and geometry (such as address, floor, room number, area and volume), function and use (classroom, office, lab, common area), capacity and occupancy, accessibility and safety features (exits, alarm systems, accessibility provisions), and inventory or condition information (furnishings, HVAC, maintenance status). It may also cover environmental and energy-related data, such as energy meters and indoor air quality.

Data sources and models for tilatietoa come from building information models (BIM), CAD drawings, GIS datasets, asset registers, and sensors. Information is often stored in facility management systems or GIS databases and linked to property units, building elements, and maintenance records. Common standards and formats include BIM/IFC for 3D representations and space objects, as well as GIS schemas for spatial attributes; interoperability between systems is an important concern.

Applications of tilatietoa include space planning and optimization, occupancy analytics, utilization reporting, budget and renovation planning, and energy management. It supports emergency planning and accessibility audits, asset management, and compliance reporting. Data quality, timeliness, and metadata are crucial for reliable analysis, and governance should address access control, data ownership, and update procedures.

Privacy and ethical considerations are important, as occupancy and usage data can reveal sensitive information about individuals. Anonymization and access controls are often employed to protect privacy.
