However, the word "Ontology" to my understanding implies a high level of validity (to me at least). An example of which might be "energetics" and "quantum mechanics" as two fundamentally different types of observation.
Isn't this really another "Social Construct" representing quite a contextually dependent system of significant inherent bias? Why was the term "Model" not used for this project, as potentially a more valid and widely used term?
From my perspective there is a danger that the name of this project is over-selling its possible applications. Sorry to be a headache!

The word Ontology is being used recently with the semantic web standards (OWL, RDF).
Various Ontologies exist in this domain to represent building/hvac information such as Brick, BOT, and others.
Our work here extends and builds on top of these previous ontologies.
Okay, I'm about to get more critical - because I think this is an issue, not a question. I don't understand why this has been closed without answering the question?
I understand the project used OWL. I am not sure that immediately means that a meaningful Ontology has been created. There's a number of examples of unexplained jargon here. For example, how does this project describe what "Building Static Pressure" means (are things getting hotter)? What is a "setpoint" (am I about to achieve something in a tennis match)? Jargon is often discussed in this project, but not defined in an organised way. A meaningful Ontology needs to carefully describe domain specific terms used (perhaps with multiple understandable examples). Has this been peer-reviewed?
As a "model" this project wouldn't be open to such criticism and I think the term is a better fit at the moment.
This is great work. Good to see
