INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC FACILITY RECORDS (EFR): 4 of 9
Organizing asset data by building systems and subsystems
Building systems asset data is the actionable component of EFR the allows for process automation.
Assets
The physical assets—equipment, components and parts—that make up facility subsystems are at the core of the EFR concept. Data resident in an EFR becomes actionable when applied to an asset through improved procedures performed by staff/contractors and software-based automation (e.g, building controls).
Data organization
Like assets, Electronic Facility Records are organized by major building systems and sub-systems including:

Data organization
Like assets, Electronic Facility Records are organized by major building systems and sub-systems including:
- Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (AMEP), and;
- Technology (infrastructure, networks, communications, etc.).
There are many other Asset Types available that can be documented in an Electronic Facility Record.
The Asset Information Exchange (AIEX) Standard
To facilitate the accurate exchange of facility data between software applications, a data standard is often used so that data fields from one program map correctly to another where the data will be acted upon.
An Asset Information Exchange (AIEX) standard includes both general and asset-specific data such as:

Electronic Facility Records capture data that is often handwritten or appears on equipment labels.
