Diagnostic elements and profiles

The structure of element master data and the use of diagnostic profiles.

Hierarchy of elements

Building elements are structured hierarchically:

Elementbereich (Obergruppe)
└── Element (Bauteil)
    └── Elementtyp (Ausführungsvariante)

Example:

Gebäudehülle
└── Außenfassade
    ├── Sichtbeton
    ├── Wärmedämmverbundsystem
    ├── Klinker
    └── Putz

Element Areas

Supergroups for categorization:

Building envelope:

Facade, roof, windows, doors, basement/foundation

Building services:

Heating, Plumbing, Electrical, Ventilation/Air Conditioning, Elevator

Interior finishes:

Walls, floors, ceilings, stairs

Outdoor facilities:

Access roads, parking lots, green spaces, drainage

Elements

Specific building components or systems that are evaluated.

Examples:

Exterior facade, roof, windows
Heating, plumbing, electrical
Interior walls, floors, stairs
Driveways, green spaces

Geometric coefficient:

Each element is assigned a coefficient:

Facade → Facade area (m²)
Roof → Building footprint (m²)
Apartment doors → Number of residential units (units)

This assignment determines which rating factor is used for the calculation.

Element types

Variations of an element:

Examples for "Exterior facade":

Plastered, exposed masonry, precast concrete panels, lightweight cladding

Examples of "Roofing":

Pitched roof, flat roof accessible, flat roof not accessible

Condition codes

Describe the condition of an element.

IPBau procedure:

Code	Condition	Points	Service life	Action
a	Very good	0–2	30–67 years	None
b	Good	0–1,998	10–50 years	Medium term
c	Medium	2–6,548	5–15 years	Required
d	Poor	0-12,396	0–3 years	Immediate

Note: Scores vary depending on the item. These are example values.

Usage:

Code Repair: Required field in the Diagnostic Wizard
Diagnostic points are automatically applied
Service life determines replacement year

Improvement codes

Optional additional measures:

Examples:

Energy efficiency improvement (EnEV standard)
Passive House standard
Accessibility

Usage:

Code improvement: Optional field in the diagnostic grid
Additional diagnostic points for additional costs

Diagnostic profiles

Preselection of elements by building type.

Since this is a cross-sectional method, the 50 base elements must always be specified in every profile. Custom additions can be added as needed.
