I have heard several people raise confusion about Level (Space) vs Floor (BuildingComponent). These terms are often used interchangeably in the US when talking about the vertical delineations of space in a building.
I believe the Floor BuildingComponent is meant to refer to the type of finished flooring that are installed on top of a slab such as carpet, tile, or wood. If this is true, I recommend we change the term from Floor to Flooring to avoid this confusion. This would remove Floor from the ontology at this time and hopefully eliminate confusion about which to use.
