ASSET LEADERSHIP NETWORK

Fixed Asset Lifecycle Map

How the independently-owned systems now in play — RE1, the Semantic Bridge, CNS/CP, TA-14, FAHA, ERP and the Asset Leadership Network — connect across the full life of a fixed asset, from design to disposal.

WHAT'S MISSING

This map covers identity (RFID), risk transfer (insurance), the building itself, and the ledger (ERP) — but nothing yet turns condition into dollars. A fixed asset's book value has no home here, and neither does the plan that spends against it. Four additions, marked NEW below, close that gap:

Depreciation & Capital Accounting Capital Planning / CIP Warranty & O&M Records OT / Cybersecurity Trust Boundary (IEC 62443)

The lifecycle, layer by layer

Read top to bottom: assets are designed, modeled, connected under agreement, executed against locally, identified in the field, assessed by FAHA, booked and funded financially, then networked across firms through the ALN — now extending into automated certification.

0Create
the asset is designed and modeled before it exists physically

Architect / CAD

design authorship

Source drawings and design intent for the building and its systems.

BIM / Revit

Onuma

Authoring and archive provenance for the model as it's built.

GIS — Esri, OpenStreetMap

site & location context

Places the building and its assets in real-world geography.

as-built geometry, site & location context
1Models & Vocabularies
each participant keeps its own model — they agree on the connection, not on each other's graphs

RE1 Building Graph

Onuma

Persistent building & asset identity — the namespace everything else reconciles against.

ASHRAE 223

HVAC semantics

Engineering meaning for mechanical systems — without it, relationships disappear.

Haystack

equipment tagging

Standard vocabulary for naming points and equipment.

Governance Graph

Greggory, independently reconciled

Companion graph published outward as a copy, not merged into RE1.

Semantic Bridge Explorer

Onuma

Cross-source integration — turns graphs and layers on or off without changing the rest.

C4SB

Rick Justis

Establishes shared building meaning and relationships across the graph-of-graphs.

nodes offering provider & consumer capabilities
2Connection Profile
the only layer two independently-owned systems must agree on

CNS/CP Connection Profile

Padi · Anto Budiardjo

A named interaction contract — roles, capabilities, properties. Not an app, not data: an agreement either side can revoke.

“Linking is not connecting. Connecting is not authority to execute.”— Anto Budiardjo

orchestration matches compatible capabilities; connection policy sets scope & revocation
OT / Cybersecurity Trust Boundary — NEW · IEC 62443 Zones & Conduits
3Local Execution Rules
each operator still decides whether to act — a connection never overrides this

TA-14

AFA · AVP · EABA — Greggory

Admissible Evidence, Applicable Authority, Established Standing — the commit boundary.

BACnet Priority

controls network

Arbitrates competing commands on the same point.

CMMS Approvals

work order governance

Human sign-off before a work order executes.

Utility Dispatch Rule

grid interface

Local rule for accepting a demand-response signal.

Safety Interlock

life-safety

Hard-wired override no upstream connection can cross.

commands act on real equipment; telemetry flows back up
4Identify & Operate
the physical asset and its field identity

RFID / Asset Tags

field identity

Ties a physical unit back to its persistent building-graph object.

BAS / IoT Sensors

telemetry

Live condition and usage data off the equipment itself.

The Building

the persistent object

Everything above and below is describing, governing or assessing this one thing.

evidence, findings & condition data — both directions
API — update records, retain history
6Enterprise, Risk & Capital
where condition becomes a dollar figure and a funded plan

ERP

ledger & procurement

System of record for the organization's finances and purchasing.

Insurance Layer

CGA Group

Valuation, replacement cost and risk transfer on the same assets.

NEW

Depreciation & Capital Accounting

GASB 34 / ASC 360

Book value, useful life and disposal accounting — currently has no home on the board.

NEW

Capital Planning / CIP

forward-looking

Turns FAHA's risk and maturity findings into a funded, sequenced replacement plan.

NEW

Warranty & O&M Records

close-out documents

Links back to Architect/CAD close-outs so FAHA can verify coverage still in force.

Automation Assisted Certification

USGBC

“Using AI to help validate that a building performs as intended — feeding USGBC's Green Building Operation Certification.”— Michael Bordenaro, Asset Leadership Network

Why these four, specifically

Each closes a real gap between what the board already shows and what a full lifecycle needs to answer.

Depreciation & Capital Accounting

ERP holds the ledger, but nothing on the board carries book value, useful life, or GASB 34 / ASC 360 disposal accounting. Without it, FAHA's condition findings and the ERP's dollar figures describe the same asset without ever agreeing on what it's worth today.

Capital Planning / CIP

Depreciation looks backward at what an asset cost; a Capital Improvement Plan looks forward, turning FAHA's risk and maturity findings into a funded, sequenced list of what actually gets replaced and when.

Warranty & O&M Records

The Architect/CAD/BIM close-out package — manuals, warranties, commissioning reports — has nowhere to live once construction ends. Without it, FAHA can't confirm whether a failing asset is still under coverage before recommending a capital spend.

OT / Cybersecurity Trust Boundary

CNS/CP establishes and governs the connection relationship between independently operated parties. It does not govern device trust or establish local execution authority. The RFID tags, BAS controllers and IoT sensors on the operational network underneath sit inside that boundary, where the protocols do the binding and CNS/CP adds nothing — that's the domain IEC 62443 already calls zones and conduits, so nobody should expect a Connection Profile to reach a sensor.

LET'S TALK

The missing layer is the financial one.

Book value, useful life and a funded capital plan are where condition finally becomes a decision. A short conversation is how we find out where that handoff breaks in your environment today.
