Value catalogues backing the Space (Usage) IfcSpace properties OccupancyType and SpaceName, extracted verbatim from the official IFC-SG glossary page (source, retrieved 2026-07-19). These lists are inlined as allowed_values in arc/space_usage/parameters.json.
Occupancy types (95)
SCDF Purpose Group (Table 1.4A) and BCA Type of Occupancy (Table 2.2A) are parsed; the BCA Accessibility Code (2019/2025) and PUB SSW columns use nested rowspans on the source page and are omitted here pending manual verification.

Space name categories (16)
Below are the valid SpaceName inputs per category (the 'Property Values to input for SpaceName' column). SpaceName allowed_values is their deduped union (421 values). The paired SCDF Functional Space classification mappings are kept per group in space_usage.json (reference only, not valid SpaceName inputs). Values may repeat across categories (per the official page).
Values are listed unmarked. The official page prints footnote markers against some of them
(*, **, ^), and those carry real obligations — occupant load depending on the Occupancy
Type, declaring ParkingType, modelling IfcStair. The marker is not part of the value, so it
is stripped here and captured per row as notes, with each category's full legend, in
space_usage.json.
