Hello everyone,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to validate property attributes using IDS.

For example, I’d like to check the attribute “People” within the `Pset_SpaceThermalLoad` of an `IfcBuilding`, which is expressed using `IfcPropertyBoundedValue`.

If this is feasible, I’d also like to know how the XML structure can be used to verify the `UpperBoundValue` and `LowerBoundValue`.

Thank you in advance for any guidance!
