For IFC4/4.3.2.0… IfcBurner? IfcBurnerType=USERDEFINED.Fireplace?

I was thinking the same thing, but I believe it’s not a perfect match because IfcBurner is part of the HVAC domain. Besides, you probably don’t want a burner in your living room… But if there’s no other option, I guess that’s the one to go with.
