Construction Operations
For COBie, this entity is used to hold contact information. While COBie does not elaborate specific relationships between people and other objects (such as a person occupying a space), the user who currently owns an object is indicated using IfcOwnerHistory, where such contact information may be located by finding the corresponding IfcActor.
