Getting Started with Archibus

Sample Data

Archibus includes the HQ sample project with data and floor plans that are based on actual buildings and organizations. The HQ sample project contains several floor plans, as well as comprehensive tables of sample standards, employees, craftspersons, equipment, maintenance procedures, and so on. Signing in as a sample user and exploring the Archibus features using the sample data will help you understand how the Archibus applications address specific facilities management goals.

For example, if you are curious as to how Archibus handles building efficiency rates, you can load the “Building Performance” report and examine how it calculates and presents rentable and usable area data for the sample HQ project. Similarly, if you want to understand a space inventory that tracks vertical penetration and service areas, examine drawing HQ19 (the floor plan of the nineteenth floor of the sample Headquarters building).

While exploring Archibus using the sample HQ project, you can practice with Archibus features by editing the sample data and adding your own records to the sample data.

To access the HQ sample project, you sign in as a sample user. See Sample Users for the Sample HQ Project .
